5,7-Dodecadienal, also known by its CAS number 75983-34-5, is an unsaturated aldehyde characterized by a long carbon chain containing twelve carbon atoms and two double bonds located at the 5th and 7th positions. This compound typically exhibits a yellowish to colorless liquid form at room temperature and has a distinctive odor, often described as fatty or waxy. The presence of double bonds contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to various chemical reactions such as oxidation and polymerization. Its molecular structure allows for geometric isomerism, which can influence its physical and chemical properties. 5,7-Dodecadienal is of interest in organic synthesis and may be utilized in the production of fragrances, flavoring agents, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it may have applications in the study of biological systems due to its potential interactions with biological molecules. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many aldehydes, due to potential irritant properties.
