2-Hydroxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde

Description:

2-Hydroxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde, also known as salicylaldehyde, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an aldehyde group (-CHO) on a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C8H8O2, and it features a methyl group at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but less soluble in water. 2-Hydroxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It exhibits properties typical of aromatic compounds, such as stability and reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it can participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
