Description :
4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder with a mild aromatic odor. Its molecular formula is C₇H₆O₂, and it is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, fragrance, and chemical industries as an intermediate in the synthesis of fine chemicals, dyes, and aromatic compounds.
Serve as a vital intermediate for the manufacture of active pharmaceutical components. It is used in the production of substances with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory characteristics. Plays a role in the development and research of medicinal compounds derived from benzaldehyde.
Used to impart mild, almond-like, or floral notes in fragrance compositions. Serves as a raw material for synthesizing aroma chemicals, such as vanillin and related compounds.
A versatile intermediate for producing dyes, polymers, and agrochemicals. Reacts readily in condensation, oxidation, and coupling reactions—ideal for chemical synthesis applications.
Incorporated into antioxidant formulations in skincare products. Sometimes found in herbal-based or plant-derived cosmetic ingredients.
Although not highly flammable, ensure good ventilation during use and avoid sources of ignition.
Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing to ensure your safety.
Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas. Keep away from strong oxidizers and direct sunlight.
May irritate skin, eyes, or respiratory system. Avoid prolonged exposure or ingestion.
