mmethoxybenzaldehyde
Methoxybenzaldehyde is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H8O2. It is an aromatic aldehyde and can exist as several isomers depending on the position of the methoxy group (OCH3) relative to the aldehyde group (CHO) on the benzene ring. The most common isomers are ortho-methoxybenzaldehyde, meta-methoxybenzaldehyde, and para-methoxybenzaldehyde.
Ortho-methoxybenzaldehyde, also known as 2-methoxybenzaldehyde, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic sweet,
Meta-methoxybenzaldehyde, or 3-methoxybenzaldehyde, is also a liquid with a similar odor profile. It is used as
Para-methoxybenzaldehyde, or 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, also known as p-anisaldehyde, is a colorless crystalline solid. It has a strong,
The synthesis of methoxybenzaldehydes typically involves the formylation of anisole (methoxybenzene) or the oxidation of methoxybenzyl
