Product Information

• Name: 4-Ethynylbenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Ethynylbenzaldehyde is an organic compound that has a nucleophilic reactivity and can be used in synthetic chemistry. It is also reactive and luminescent, as well as magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 4-Ethynylbenzaldehyde can be synthesized by reacting ethynylmagnesium bromide with benzaldehyde in the presence of a base. The reaction time for this process is 3 hours at room temperature. In addition, 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde is soluble in water, methanol and ethanol, but insoluble in ether. This chemical can form imine bonds with amines or ammonia, which are common functional groups found in amino acids and proteins. The interaction between the aldehyde group on the benzene ring and the alkynyl group on the ethynyl group leads to a strong hydrogen bond between these two groups.
