Cyclohexanepropanal,4-(2-methylpropyl)-,cis-(CAS#1315250-65-7)
Physical
Appearance: Usually may be a colorless to pale yellow liquid. This is a common appearance feature of many organic liquid compounds, although the exact color may vary depending on factors such as purity.
Odor: May have a peculiar organic compound odor, similar to the odor of a mixture of aldehydes and alkyl-substituted cyclohexane. Aldehydes typically have a pungent odor, while cyclohexane and its substitutes have a relatively mild odor.
Solubility: According to the principle of similar miscibility, it may be easily soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether, chloroform, etc., due to the fact that its molecular structure contains more hydrocarbon parts. The solubility in water may be less soluble because the non-polar part accounts for a large proportion and is quite different from the polarity of water.
Boiling point and melting point: The specific boiling point and melting point values need to be determined by experiments or consult more specialized chemical literature. However, it is speculated that due to its relatively large molecular structure, cyclic structure and multiple carbon chains, its boiling point may be high. The melting point can be affected by molecular symmetry and intermolecular forces.
Chemical properties
Stability: It should have a certain stability under normal temperature and pressure and ordinary storage conditions. However, in the presence of high temperatures, strong acids, alkalis, or strong oxidants, chemical reactions may occur. For example, aldehyde groups may be oxidized to carboxylic acids, condensation reactions may occur under alkaline conditions, etc.
Reactivity: The aldehyde group is a relatively reactive functional group, and it can undergo a variety of reactions. For example, it can react with nucleophiles such as alcohols to produce the corresponding acetal products; reacts with amines to form imines; It can also carry out a hydroreduction reaction to reduce the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group to obtain the corresponding alcohol. At the same time, the position of the substituents on cyclohexane may also be affected by some chemical reagents, such as in some free radical reactions or electrophilic substitution reactions.
use
Intermediates in organic synthesis: due to their presence of active aldehyde groups and specific cyclohexane substitution structures, they can be used as intermediates in organic synthesis. It is used to synthesize organic compounds with special structures and functions, for example, in the field of drug synthesis, it can be used to construct molecular structures with specific pharmacological activities; In fragrance chemistry, compounds with special aromas may be obtained through chemical modification of aldehyde groups and other fractions.
Potential applications in materials science: In the field of materials science, its structural characteristics may make it a potential application in the synthesis of some polymer materials or liquid crystal materials. For example, by introducing such structural units, it is possible to change the physical properties of the material, such as flexibility, solubility, etc.
