Product Information

• Name: 4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH3COCH2C6H5. It is a viscous liquid that is insoluble in water and has a boiling point of 146 °C. 4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde reacts with cationic surfactants to form polymeric micelles, which are spherical structures composed of many small spherical subunits. These polymeric micelles are used as model systems for studying the properties of surfactant aggregates in solution. The reaction mechanism for this polymerization process involves the oxidation of 4-tert-butylbenzaldehyde by hydrogen peroxide and the subsequent condensation of 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid with malonic acid or other cinnamic acid derivatives to form the corresponding esters. The oxidized product, 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid, can be regenerated by boiling a mixture containing it
