2-hydroxy-3-propylbenzaldehyde

Description:

2-Hydroxy-3-propylbenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 83816-53-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an aldehyde group (-CHO) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a propyl group substituent at the 3-position relative to the aldehyde, which influences its physical and chemical properties. Typically, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its solubility in polar solvents, while the hydrophobic propyl group affects its overall hydrophobicity. This compound may exhibit reactivity typical of both phenolic and aldehyde functionalities, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and condensation. Its applications may include use in organic synthesis, fragrance formulations, and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
