α,4-Dimethylbenzeneacetaldehyde

Description:

α,4-Dimethylbenzeneacetaldehyde, also known as p-tolylacetaldehyde, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and aldehyde functional group. It features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 1 and 4 positions, along with an acetaldehyde group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, reminiscent of floral or sweet notes. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. α,4-Dimethylbenzeneacetaldehyde is primarily used in the synthesis of various fragrances and flavoring agents, as well as in the production of other chemical intermediates. Its reactivity is influenced by the aldehyde group, allowing it to participate in typical reactions of aldehydes, such as oxidation and condensation. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
