Description:3-Iodobenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 696-41-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aromatic aldehydes. It features a benzene ring substituted with an iodine atom at the meta position and an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) at the first position. This compound is typically a pale yellow to brown liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its distinctive aromatic odor. 3-Iodobenzaldehyde is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the iodine atom enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions and is often employed as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
