Description

Benzaldehyde by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This organic compound consists of a benzene ring with a formyl substituent, and is the simplest aromatic aldehyde present. The reagent is available as a colourless liquid with an almond-like odour, which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 57.12 C, and a boiling point of 178.1 C. Benzaldehyde can majorly be prepared from liquid phase chlorination and oxidation of toluene. CAS No.: 100-52-7 Quantity Provided: 500 ml per bottle Molecular formula: C6H5.CHO Molecular weight: 106.12 Assay: minimum 99% Analytical grade reagentBenzaldehyde has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is majorly used as a flavouring agent in the food industry and as a fragrance agent in cosmetic products for its almond scent. Industrially, benzaldehyde is mainly used as a precursor to other organic compounds, which range from pharmaceuticals to plastic additives. It reacts with dimethylaniline, to produce the dye, malachite green. Benzaldehyde is also used as a bee repellent. It is furthermore converted into derivatives of cinnamaldehyde and styrene via aldol condensation reactions. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
