3-Methoxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde

Description:

3-Methoxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde, also known as anisaldehyde or a derivative of methylated anisole, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by its methoxy and methyl substituents on the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet, and floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavor industries. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the meta position and a methyl group (-CH3) at the para position relative to the aldehyde functional group (-CHO). The presence of these substituents influences its reactivity and solubility, often making it soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. 3-Methoxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and condensation, and is utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
