CAS 22927-13-5: 2-Ethylbenzaldehyde

2-Ethylbenzaldehyde is a colorless volatile liquid that has an odor similar to that of cloves. 2-Ethylbenzaldehyde can be found in the essential oil of nutmeg and other spices, such as cinnamon. It is used in the chemical industry as a control agent for analytical methods, such as the spectrometric determination of ether linkages. 2-Ethylbenzaldehyde has been shown to inhibit fatty acid production by bacteria and to inhibit lipid peroxidation. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects when exposed to cells in vitro. Exposure to 2-ethylbenzaldehyde may cause irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting. 2-Ethylbenzaldehyde is generally considered safe for human consumption at low levels; however it may cause adverse health effects if ingested in large quantities or if heated over 400° F (204° Celsius).
