Description
4-Benzyloxy-3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde intermediate offered at a minimum purity of 90 % for laboratory synthesis and research. It carries CAS number 144896-51-5 and the empirical formula C₁₆H₁₆O₂, with a molar mass of 240,3 g/mol and a boiling point of 384 °C. The structure features a formyl group on a 3,5-dimethyl-substituted ring protected at the 4-position as a benzyl ether, making it a versatile precursor for reductions, condensations, and further elaboration of polysubstituted aromatics. This product from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports applications that require a defined benzaldehyde scaffold with orthogonal protecting-group chemistry. Accurate molecular weight data aid stoichiometric planning and analytical confirmation. Chemists can use the aldehyde functionality in Wittig, reductive amination, or nucleophilic addition reactions while retaining the benzyloxy and methyl substitution pattern for later deprotection or diversification, enabling efficient construction of more complex target molecules in academic and industrial research settings.

Questions about 4-Benzyloxy-3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde, min. 90 %, 10 g
What is this article?
4-Benzyloxy-3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde, min. 90 %, 10 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
