What are the applications of Benzaldehyde?

Benzaldehyde, an organic compound formed when the hydrogen of benzene is replaced by an aldehyde group, is the simplest and most commonly used aromatic aldehyde in industry. At Room temperature, it is a colorless liquid, with a special smell of almonds.

Benzaldehyde is the main component of bitter almond oil extract. It can also be extracted from apricot, Cherry, Laurel Leaf and peach stone. The compound is also present in nuts and nuts in the form of Amygdalin, which binds to glycosides.

The application of Benzaldehyde is very extensive. For example:

[ application 1] important chemical raw materials: used to make lauric aldehyde, lauric acid, phenylacetaldehyde and Benzyl Benzoate, also can be used as perfume.

[ application 2] used for the determination of ozone, phenol, alkaloid and methylene reagent beside carboxyl group.

[ application 3] can be used as a special head fragrance, trace for floral formula, such as Lilac, white orchid, Jasmine, violet, Acacia, sunflower, sweet bean, plum, orange flower, etc. . It`s also used in soaps. Can also be used as edible spices almonds, Berries, cream, cherries, coconuts, apricots, peaches, Pecans, plum, vanilla beans, spices and other flavors.

As a flavoring agent for canned cherry with sugar water, the amount of sugar water added was about 3 ml/kg.

[Application 6] The intermediate of medicine, dyestuff and perfume. Used in the production of M-oxybenzaldehyde, lauric acid, lauric aldehyde, product green, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzylidene aniline, Benzylidene Acetone, etc. .

[ application 7] organic synthesis, solvent, determination of ozone and methylene next to the carbonyl group, determination of phenol and alkaloid, perfume preparation.
