4-(1,3-dioxan-2-yl)benzaldehyde

Description:

4-(1,3-Dioxan-2-yl)benzaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic aldehyde structure, which features a benzaldehyde moiety substituted with a 1,3-dioxane ring. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to light brown appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic component. The presence of the dioxane ring contributes to its stability and may influence its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions typical of aldehydes. It is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals. The compound's properties, including boiling point, melting point, and specific reactivity, can vary based on the conditions and purity.
