:Benzaldehyde, 5-ethyl-2-methoxy-
Description:
Benzaldehyde, 5-ethyl-2-methoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring bonded to a formyl group (-CHO) and a methoxy group (-OCH3) along with an ethyl substituent. This compound typically exhibits a pleasant, almond-like odor, characteristic of many benzaldehyde derivatives. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the methoxy group influences its reactivity and polarity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and a potential flavoring agent in the food industry. Additionally, benzaldehyde derivatives are often studied for their biological activities, including potential antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
