Benzaldehyde Usage And Synthesis
|
Uses |
1. Benzaldehyde is an important raw material for medicine, dyestuff, perfume and resin industry. It also can be used as solvent, plasticizer and low temperature lubricant. In essence, it is mainly used for the deployment of food flavor. A small amount of benzaldehyde is daily use in flavor and flavor of tobacco. In spite of being widely used as commercial food condiment and industrial solvents, the main use of benzyl alcohol is still used to synthesize a variety of other compounds from pharmaceuticals to plastic additives. Benzyl alcohol is an important intermediate product in the production of perfumes, spices, and some aniline dyes. |

Air & Water Reactions |
Oxidizes in air to form benzoic acid, which is moderately toxic by ingestion. Insoluble in water. |

|
storage |
Benzaldehyde should be kept stored in a tightly closed container and protected against physical damage. Storage of the chemical substance outside or in a detached area is preferred, whereas inside storage should be in a standard flammable liquids storage room or cabinet. Benzaldehyde should be kept separated from oxidizing materials. Also, storage and use areas should be no smoking areas. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product |

Benzaldehyde is an organic compound with a molecular formula of C7H6O, a colorless liquid. It is found in hyacinth, lemongrass, cinnamon, iris, and cistus. It has bitter almond, cherry and nut aromas.
Benzaldehyde is the simplest and the most commonly used aromatic aldehyde in industry. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature with a special almond smell. Benzaldehyde is the main component of almond oil extract. It can also be extracted from apricots, cherries, bay leaves and peach pits. This compound is also present in nuts and nuts in the form of glycosides (mandelin).
The chemical properties of benzaldehyde are similar to fatty aldehydes, but there are also differences. Benzaldehyde cannot reduce Fehling's reagent; when reducing benzaldehyde with the reagent used when reducing fatty aldehydes, in addition to the main product benzyl alcohol, some tetra-substituted vicinal glycol compounds and s-diphenyl glycol are also produced. In the presence of potassium cyanide, two molecules of benzaldehyde generate benzoin by donating hydrogen atoms. Benzaldehyde can also undergo an electrophilic substitution reaction on the aromatic nucleus, which mainly produces meta-substituted products. For example, the main product during nitration is meta-nitrobenzaldehyde. It is easily oxidized in the air to produce white benzoic acid. It can react with amides to produce pharmaceutical intermediates.
