Benzaldehyde, 4-(propylsulfonyl)-

Description:

Benzaldehyde, 4-(propylsulfonyl)-, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzaldehyde functional group attached to a propylsulfonyl moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the sulfonyl group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored for applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability and integrity.
