4-(Acetyloxy)benzaldehyde

Description:

4-(Acetyloxy)benzaldehyde, also known as p-acetoxybenzaldehyde, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an aldehyde and an ester functional group. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted with an acetoxy group (-OCOCH3) at the para position relative to the aldehyde group (-CHO). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It has a distinctive aromatic odor and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 4-(Acetyloxy)benzaldehyde is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the aldehyde group, which can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions. Additionally, it may undergo hydrolysis to yield p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and acetic acid under certain conditions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may be irritant to skin and eyes.
