Glycolaldehyde is the organic compound with the formula HOCH 2 −CHO. It is the smallest possible molecule that contains both an aldehyde group (−CH=O) and a hydroxyl group (−OH). It is a highly reactive molecule that occurs both in the biosphere and in the interstellar medium. It is normally supplied as a white solid.
Glutaraldehyde is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 3 (CHO) 2.The molecule consists of a five carbon chain doubly terminated with formyl (CHO) groups. It is usually used as a solution in water, and such solutions exists as a collection of hydrates, cyclic derivatives, and condensation products, several of which interconvert.
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 C(O)CHO. It is a reduced derivative of pyruvic acid. It is a reactive compound that is implicated in the biology of diabetes. Methylglyoxal is produced industrially by degradation of carbohydrates using overexpressed methylglyoxal synthase. [1]
Phthalaldehyde (sometimes also o-phthalaldehyde or ortho-phthalaldehyde, OPA) is the chemical compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CHO) 2. It is one of three isomers of benzene dicarbaldehyde, related to phthalic acid. This pale yellow solid is a building block in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and a reagent in the analysis of amino ...
Crotonaldehyde is a chemical compound with the formula CH 3 CH=CHCHO. The compound is usually sold as a mixture of the E- and Z-isomers, which differ with respect to the relative position of the methyl and formyl groups. The E-isomer is more common (data given in Table is for the E-isomer).
Butyraldehyde, also known as butanal, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 2 CHO. This compound is the aldehyde derivative of butane. It is a colorless flammable liquid with an unpleasant smell. It is miscible with most organic solvents.
In organic chemistry, 3-hydroxybutanal (acetaldol, aldol) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CHO and the structure H 3 C−CH−CH 2 −CH=O. It is classified as an aldol (R−CH(OH)−CHR'−C(=O)−R") and the word "aldol" can refer specifically to 3-hydroxybutanal. It is formally the product of the dimerization of ...
Hydrocinnamaldehyde is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 CHO. It is produced by the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. The compound is used in many mechanistic studies. [1] It is a common substrate in organic synthesis. [2] [3]
