Pentamethylbenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 17432-38-1, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by its distinct structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with five methyl groups and an aldehyde functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, sweet, and floral odor, making it valuable in the fragrance industry. Its molecular formula is C12H16O, and it has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. Pentamethylbenzaldehyde is known for its stability under normal conditions but may undergo oxidation or polymerization when exposed to strong oxidizing agents. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Due to its unique scent profile, it is often used in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavoring agents. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is generally considered to have low toxicity when handled properly.

2,3,4,5,6-Pentamethylbenzaldehyde is an aromatic nitro compound that can be used as a precursor in the synthesis of other compounds. The reaction of 2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylbenzaldehyde with hydrogen chloride or acidic hydrolysis yields two compounds: 2-chloro-3-(2-nitrophenyl)propene and 5-(2-nitrophenyl)pentanal. These two compounds are activated methylene compounds that can be converted to other organic compounds with the use of a cocatalyst. It has been shown to inhibit human ovarian carcinoma cells and stabilize cardiac arrhythmias.
