4-(Chloromethyl)benzaldehyde

Description:
4-(Chloromethyl)benzaldehyde, with the CAS number 73291-09-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a chloromethyl group and an aldehyde functional group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It has a distinct aromatic odor due to the benzaldehyde moiety. The chloromethyl group introduces reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. It is important to handle 4-(Chloromethyl)benzaldehyde with care, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin and eyes, and potential respiratory hazards if inhaled. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
