--Product Introduction--
Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is an organic compound and the simplest aromatic aldehyde, consisting of a benzene ring with a formyl group (−CHO) attached to it.
It is a colorless liquid with a distinctive almond-like odor, which makes it highly valuable in various industries. Benzaldehyde has a molecular formula of C7H6O and a molecular weight of 106.12 g/mol. It appears as a colorless liquid with a melting point of approximately −26°C and a boiling point of around 179°C. Its density is about 1.04 g/cm³ at 20°C, and it is slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and acetone.
These physical properties make benzaldehyde suitable for a wide range of applications, from fragrances to industrial uses.
Chemically, benzaldehyde exhibits reactivity typical of aldehydes, particularly due to the presence of the carbonyl group. It undergoes nucleophilic addition reactions because the carbonyl carbon is electrophilic, allowing it to react with nucleophiles to form products such as cyanohydrins, hydrazones, and oximes.
Benzaldehyde can also be reduced to benzyl alcohol using reducing agents like sodium borohydride (NaBH4), and further reduction can yield toluene. On the other hand, it can be oxidized to benzoic acid using oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or chromium trioxide (CrO3). Additionally, benzaldehyde participates in condensation reactions, such as aldol condensation, where it reacts with other aldehydes or ketones to form β-hydroxy aldehydes or ketones. Under certain conditions, it can polymerize to form polymeric structures, though this is less common compared to its other reactions. These chemical properties make benzaldehyde a versatile building block in organic synthesis.
