(2E,6E)-2,6-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienedial

Description:

(2E,6E)-2,6-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienedial, with the CAS number 80054-40-6, is an organic compound characterized by its structure featuring two double bonds and two aldehyde functional groups. This compound belongs to the class of dialdehydes, which are known for their reactivity due to the presence of the aldehyde groups. The presence of the double bonds in the carbon chain contributes to its unsaturated nature, which can influence its reactivity and stability. Typically, compounds like this may exhibit a range of biological activities and can be involved in various chemical reactions, such as polymerization or oxidation. Its specific properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, would depend on the molecular interactions and the presence of functional groups. Additionally, due to its structure, it may have applications in organic synthesis or as a potential intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Safety data and handling precautions should be considered, as aldehydes can be irritants and may pose health risks.
