Description:4-(Hexyloxy)benzaldehyde, with the CAS number 5736-94-7, is an organic compound characterized by a benzaldehyde functional group substituted with a hexyloxy group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hexyloxy chain. The presence of the hexyloxy group enhances its lipophilicity, making it useful in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the formulation of fragrances and flavoring agents. The compound may exhibit moderate volatility and can participate in typical electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many aldehydes, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability.
