Description

o-Anisaldehyde is a chemical compound that has the molecular formula CH3CHO. It is an aromatic compound that contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to a benzene ring. o-Anisaldehyde is soluble in water and reacts with copper chloride to form copper (II) o-anisate, which can be used as a reagent for oxidation reactions. It also forms coordination compounds with metal ions like zinc and iron. The crystal structure of o-anisaldehyde has been determined by x-ray crystallography and shows that it contains two asymmetric carbon atoms, which are oriented in opposite directions. This molecule can be synthesized from phenol or catechol by heating them with an acidified solution of sodium nitrite in ethanol. The reaction mechanism of this process involves the formation of an oxime intermediate followed by hydrolysis. The kinetics data of this reaction have been obtained using titration calorimetry and kinetic energy measurements show that the reaction
