Description:

Benzaldehyde, 4-(2-bromophenoxy)-, with the CAS number 86607-73-0, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzaldehyde group and a bromophenoxy substituent. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive almond-like odor, characteristic of benzaldehyde derivatives. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic components. The presence of the bromine atom in the 2-position of the phenoxy group can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitutions and nucleophilic attacks. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate measures should be implemented to mitigate exposure.
