5-Chloro-2-methylbenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 58966-34-0, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a methyl group on a benzene ring. This compound features a chlorine atom at the 5-position and a methyl group at the 2-position relative to the aldehyde functional group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. The compound is known for its distinctive aromatic odor and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. It is used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of both the chloro and aldehyde functional groups contributes to its reactivity, making it a valuable building block in synthetic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
