Brief introduction of Benzaldehyde CAS 100-52-7

Benzaldehyde is also known as benzoic aldehyde, benzaldehyde, phenylaldehyde, benzene carbon, molecular formula C7H6O, molecular weight 106.12, CAS 100-52-7. Benzaldehyde is a compound formed by the direct connection of aldehyde group and phenyl group. It was once called bitter almond oil because of its aroma similar to bitter almond. Benzaldehyde widely exists in the plant world, especially in Rosaceae plants. It mainly exists in the stem skin, leaves or seeds of plants in the form of glycosides, such as amygdalin in bitter almond. Benzaldehyde naturally exists in bitter almond oil, patchouli oil, hyacinth oil, Ylang Ylang Ylang oil and other essential oils. The chemical properties of benzaldehyde are similar to those of fatty aldehydes, but they are also different. Benzaldehyde cannot reduce Fehling reagent; When reducing benzaldehyde with the reagent used to reduce fatty aldehydes, in addition to the main product benzyl alcohol, some tetrasubstituted o-diols and homodiphenylethylene glycol are produced. In the presence of potassium cyanide, two molecules of benzaldehyde generate benzoin by giving and receiving hydrogen atoms. Benzaldehyde can also carry out electrophilic substitution reaction on aromatic nucleus, mainly generating meta substitution products. For example, in nitrification, the main product is m-nitrobenzaldehyde.
