m-Xylene-2-carboxaldehyde - Introduction
2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde is an organic compound, also known as "quercetin". The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
-Appearance: 2,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde is a colorless to light yellow crystalline solid.
-Solubility: It can be dissolved in organic solvents, such as alcohols and ethers, but it has poor solubility in water.
-Melting point: Its melting point is about 52-54 degrees Celsius.
Use:
-In the cosmetics industry, 2,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde is often used as an additive in perfumes and flavors to give the product a fragrance.
-It is also used as a raw material for dyes and pigments for dyeing and coloring.
- 2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde is also used as a starting material for organic synthesis reactions, such as the synthesis of organic compounds and pharmaceutical intermediates.
Preparation Method:
- 2,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde can be obtained by oxidation of toluene. The most common method is the oxidation of toluene using hydrogen peroxide or chlorine oxygen air.
Safety Information:
- 2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde is generally safe under normal use conditions, but the following matters still need to be paid attention:
-When exposed to 2,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde, avoid skin contact and inhalation.
-During handling and use, you should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as protective gloves and protective glasses, to avoid contact and inhalation.
-Avoid contact with strong oxidants, strong acids and strong bases during storage and handling to prevent dangerous reactions.
-If not necessary, try to avoid releasing it into the environment.
Please note that this is an introduction to general nature, use, formulation and safety information only and does not cover all aspects. In specific applications, you should also refer to the relevant chemical safety manuals and technical information, and comply with relevant regulations and safety procedures.
