(2E)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-enal

Description:
(2E)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-enal, also known as 2-methylcinnamaldehyde, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a propenal group (an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde) with a 2-methylphenyl substituent. 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 nature. The presence of the double bond in the propenal moiety contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to various chemical reactions, including addition and oxidation. This compound is often utilized in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its pleasant scent, and it may also exhibit biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling it, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Overall, (2E)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-enal is a versatile compound with applications in both industrial and research settings.
