1-Azulenecarbaldehyde(CAS: 7206-61-3)

1-Azulenecarbaldehyde (CAS: 7206-61-3) is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 140.23 g/mol. It has a specific gravity of 0.998 and is soluble in ethanol and acetone. It is moderately reactive, showing electrophilic character and is typically stable under normal storage conditions. It is generally insoluble in water.

1-Azulenecarbaldehyde (CAS: 7206-61-3) can be synthesized via the condensation of 1-azulenesulfonic acid with ethanal. The reaction is typically carried out under mild conditions, using a catalytic amount of a suitable acid or base, and the yield can be up to 85% with high selectivity to the desired product.

1-Azulenecarbaldehyde (CAS: 7206-61-3) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of azulenyl derivatives with potential medicinal applications. It is also utilized in the fragrance and flavor industry as a flavoring agent. Additionally, it has applications in the chemical sensor and polymer industry due to its unique chemical properties.

When handling 1-Azulenecarbaldehyde (CAS: 7206-61-3), it is important to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety goggles. Store it in a closed container away from heat and ignition sources. Use a fume hood when performing operations that may release vapors. In case of a spill, neutralize with an appropriate acid or base solution. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for more detailed handling and disposal instructions.
