Description

3-Acetoxybenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that has been used as a photosensitiser for the production of hydrogen peroxide. When irradiated with light, it undergoes a series of reactions, including the removal of an electron from the molecule and the formation of a reactive oxygen species (ROS). This ROS then reacts with chloride ions to form chlorine radicals. These chlorine radicals can react with acetyl groups to form 3-acetoxybenzoic acid. 3-Acetoxybenzaldehyde is also used in organic synthesis to produce ketones and aldehydes. The functional groups on this compound are an acetyl group and a carbonyl group. 3-Acetoxybenzaldehyde is produced by the dehydrogenation of trimethyl acetate, which is catalyzed by palladium on charcoal or platinum oxide.
