Product Information
- p-Tolualdehyde,a-methoxy- (6CI)
- p-(Methoxymethyl)benzaldehyde
4-(Methoxymethyl)benzaldehyde is an organic chemical compound that has the molecular formula CHO. It can be obtained by catalytic cleavage of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with hydrogen chloride in the presence of a nickel catalyst, followed by chlorination and reduction. This chemical is used in pharmaceuticals as a catalyst for reductive cleavage and cyclization reactions. The acidity of 4-(methoxymethyl)benzaldehyde is due to its nitrogen substituents, which are capable of deprotonating the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl group. This allows for selective synthesis at the benzylic position.
4-(Methoxymethyl)benzaldehyde is also able to catalyze lithiation reactions because it contains a reactive chlorine atom.
