4,5-Dimethoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde

Description:

4,5-Dimethoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 7721-62-2, is an organic compound belonging to the class of aromatic aldehydes. It features a benzene ring substituted with two methoxy groups (-OCH3) at the 4 and 5 positions and a methyl group (-CH3) at the 2 position, along with an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) at the 1 position. This compound is typically characterized by its aromatic properties, which contribute to its distinct odor and reactivity. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it susceptible to oxidation and nucleophilic attack, while the methoxy groups can influence its electronic properties and reactivity. 4,5-Dimethoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many organic chemicals.
