Product Information

• Name: 2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor. It is used in the synthesis of fatty acids and as an intermediate for other compounds. This chemical has significant cytotoxicity against leukemia cells, and is used in the production of acrylonitrile. 2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde can be synthesized by reacting an amine with an acyl chloride, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting ester. A contactor is usually added to facilitate the reaction. The reaction can also be carried out in the presence of a phosphorane or organic solvent.2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde can be hydrogenated to produce 2,4-dimethylaniline and 2,4,6-trimethylaniline.
