2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde, its physical properties are as follows:
This substance is a colorless to light yellow liquid at room temperature and has a special aroma. Its boiling point is about 213-214 ° C. At this temperature, the molecules obtain enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces and transform from liquid to gaseous. The melting point is about -75 ° C. When the temperature drops below the melting point, the thermal motion of the molecules slows down, the arrangement tends to be orderly, and the substance solidifies from liquid to solid.
2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde The relative density (water = 1) is about 1.011-1.016, which indicates that its density is slightly higher than that of water. If mixed with water, it will sink to the bottom of the water. It is slightly soluble in water, because water molecules interact with hydrogen bonds to form a tight structure, while 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde is an organic substance with a large polar difference from water. According to the principle of similar phase dissolution, its solubility in water is limited. However, it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, because these organic solvents and 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde have similar intermolecular forces and can mix with each other. < Br >
Its refractive index is about 1.545 to 1.548. When light enters a medium containing 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde from a medium, light will be refracted due to the different speeds of light in the two media. The refractive index is a physical quantity that measures the degree of refraction. A specific refractive index can be used as one of the basis for identifying the substance.

2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde, which is an organic compound, has the following chemical properties:
First, it has the typical properties of an aldehyde group. The aldehyde group is highly active and can undergo many reactions. If it can be oxidized, it can undergo a silver mirror reaction when it encounters a weak oxidant such as Torun's reagent. In an alkaline environment, Torun's reagent (silver hydroxide diaminide) meets 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde, the aldehyde group is oxidized to a carboxyl group, and the silver ion is reduced to metallic silver, which adheres to the wall of the container to form a beautiful silver mirror. In case of strong oxidants such as acidic potassium permanganate solution, the aldehyde group can be further oxidized to a carboxyl group, causing the purplish red of the potassium permanganate solution to fade.
Second, it can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions. The carbon-oxygen double bond in the aldehyde group is polar, and the carbon atom is positively charged, making it vulnerable to attack by nucleophiles. For example, under the action of acidic catalysts with alcohols, an addition reaction can occur, resulting in hemiacetal, and then acetal is formed. Taking ethanol as an example, under the catalysis of dry hydrogen chloride gas, 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde reacts with ethanol, the aldehyde group carbon-oxygen double bond is opened, the ethoxy group of ethanol is added to the carbon atom, and the hydroxyl group is added to the oxygen atom to form hemiacetal; hemiacetal can continue to react with another molecule of ethanol, losing a molecule of water and generating acetal.
Third, due to the conjugation of the benzene ring and the aldehyde group, the electron cloud density of the benzene ring changes, which affects the activity and position of the substitution reaction on the benzene ring. The electron cloud density of the adjacent and para-position on the benzene ring is relatively high, and the electrophilic substitution reaction easily occurs in the adjacent and para-position. If the halogenation reaction is carried out, under the action of an appropriate catalyst, the halogen atom easily replaces the hydrogen atom of the adjacent and para-position of the benzene ring.
Fourth, α-hydrogen has a certain activity. Affected by the electron-absorbing effect of the aldehyde group, the hydrogen atom on the carbon atom (α-carbon atom) connected to the aldehyde group is more active, and reactions such as haloform can occur. If it interacts with halogen elementals under basic conditions, α-hydrogen can be gradually replaced by halogen atoms.

There are various ways to synthesize 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde.
One is to use the corresponding toluene derivative as the starting material, and introduce a halogen atom at a specific position of toluene through halogenation reaction. Then, with the help of metal-organic reagents, such as Grignard reagents, react with the corresponding halogenated aromatics to form a carbon-carbon bond to form an intermediate containing the desired carbon skeleton. After the oxidation step, the specific functional group is converted into an aldehyde group to obtain 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde. In this approach, the halogenation step needs to precisely control the reaction conditions to ensure that the halogen atoms are introduced into the desired position; the preparation and reaction of Grignard reagents also need to pay attention to the anhydrous and oxygen-free environment to avoid the failure of the reagents.
The second is to use benzaldehyde derivatives as the starting material and introduce methyl through methylation reaction. Suitable methylation reagents can be selected, such as iodomethane, dimethyl sulfate, etc. Under the catalysis of bases, methylation reagents undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions with benzaldehyde derivatives, and methyl is introduced at specific positions in the benzene ring. During this process, factors such as the type and dosage of bases, reaction temperature and time have a significant impact on the check point and yield of methylation. Each reaction parameter must be carefully regulated to achieve efficient synthesis of the target product.
Third, the Diels-Alder reaction can be considered to construct a benzene ring skeleton, and then 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde can be synthesized. Select appropriate dienes and dienophiles to form a six-membered cyclic intermediate through Diels-Alder reaction, and then gradually introduce methyl and aldehyde functional groups through subsequent functional group transformation, such as oxidation, reduction, substitution and other reactions. This strategy requires a deep understanding of the stereochemistry and regioselectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction in order to achieve the selective synthesis of the target product.
There are various methods for synthesizing 2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Experimenters should carefully choose the appropriate synthesis path according to actual needs and conditions.

2% 2C8-dimethylbenzaldehyde requires attention to many matters during storage and transportation.
First, when storing, find a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Because of its fear of heat and moisture, high temperature and humidity can easily cause its qualitative change. The temperature of the warehouse should be controlled within a specific range, and it should not be too high, otherwise it may lead to increased volatilization and even cause safety risks. And keep away from fire and heat sources. Open flames are close, and danger is imminent.
Second, it should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis, etc., and must not be mixed. The reason is that 2,8-dimethylbenzaldehyde is chemically active, encounters with the above substances, or has violent chemical reactions, causing serious consequences such as explosion.
Third, the storage container must be well sealed. If the seal is not good, it is not only easy to evaporate and lose, but also may react with air components, affecting the quality. Packaging materials also need to be carefully selected to withstand its corrosion and ensure storage safety.
Fourth, during transportation, it is necessary to ensure that the container is stable to prevent package damage caused by collision and vibration. Transportation vehicles should also be clean, dry, and free of other chemicals to avoid pollution.
Fifth, transportation personnel should be professionally trained to be familiar with the characteristics of 2,8-dimethylbenzaldehyde and emergency treatment methods. Once there is a leak, it can be disposed of quickly and properly to reduce the harm.
In short, whether it is storing or transporting 2,8-dimethylbenzaldehyde, it must be operated in strict accordance with regulations to ensure its safety in an all-round way and avoid accidents.
