BENZALDEHYDE AR 99%
SKU: RXSOL-60-6604-034
Product Description: BENZALDEHYDE. BENZALDEHYDE AR 99%. Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring with a formyl substituent ...
Application
Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO), the simplest representative of the aromatic aldehydes, occurring naturally as the glycoside amygdalin. Prepared synthetically, it is used chiefly in the manufacture of dyes, cinnamic acid, and other organic compounds, and to some extent in perfumes and flavouring agents.
Dosage
Benzaldehyde undergoes disproportionation upon treatment with concentrated alkali one molecule of the aldehyde is reduced to the benzyl alcohol and another molecule is simultaneously oxidized to benzoic acid.
