4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde

Description:
4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 939-97-9, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a tert-butyl group and an aldehyde functional group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive almond-like odor. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. The presence of the aldehyde functional group makes it reactive, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions, and it can undergo oxidation to form the corresponding carboxylic acid. 4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde is used in organic synthesis and as a flavoring agent in the food industry, as well as in the production of various chemical intermediates. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
