Physical and Chemical Properties | 3-carboxyl benzaldehyde is an aldehyde derivative, melting point 173-175°C(lit.), the boiling point was 231.65 ° C. (roughestimate), the density was 1.2645(roughestimate), the refractive index was 1.4500(estimate), and the acidity coefficient (pKa) was 3.84(at 25 ° C.). Its chemical structure is a conjugated system composed of benzene ring and benzaldehyde group. The aldehyde group is an active group and can participate in a variety of chemical reactions, such as oxidation, reduction, condensation and other reactions of the aldehyde group; In addition, the benzene ring can also occur electrophilic substitution reaction. Thus, 3-carboxybenzaldehyde is an important organic intermediate for the construction of complex compounds. |

synthesis method | methyl 3-formylbenzoate (6.15g,37.46 mmol) in methanol (61.5 mL) and 2 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (37.5 mL,75 mmol) in a mixture of r.t. After stirring for 1 h, thin layer chromatography (petroleum ether: ethyl acetate = 1:1) showed that the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was acidified to pH = 2 with 80 mL 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid and the resulting mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuo to give 3-formylbenzoic acid. The yield was 5.59g,99.5%, and 3-carboxybenzaldehyde was obtained as a white solid. Figure 3-structural formula of carboxybenzaldehyde |
