Terephthaldehyde mono(diethyl acetal)

Description:
Terephthaldehyde mono(diethyl acetal), with the CAS number 81172-89-6, is an organic compound derived from terephthalaldehyde. It features a diethyl acetal functional group, which is formed by the reaction of terephthalaldehyde with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic diethyl groups. Terephthaldehyde mono(diethyl acetal) is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Its acetal structure provides stability against hydrolysis under neutral conditions, making it useful in applications where moisture sensitivity is a concern. Additionally, it may exhibit properties such as low volatility and moderate reactivity, which are important for its handling and storage. Safety precautions should be taken when working with this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
