Overview of Ortho-Tolualdehyde

Ortho-Tolualdehyde (C₆H₄CH₃CHO), also known as 2-methylbenzaldehyde, is an aromatic aldehyde with a methyl group attached to the ortho position of the benzene ring. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong almond-like odor and is used primarily in the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances. Ortho-Tolualdehyde is an important intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals.

This compound is commonly used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, including antiseptics and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as in the fragrance industry for the creation of floral and fruity fragrances. Its reactivity as an aldehyde makes it a valuable component in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry.
