4-(1-Pyrrolidinyl)benzaldehyde(CAS: 51980-54-2)

4-(1-Pyrrolidinyl)benzaldehyde (CAS: 51980-54-2) is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 180.24 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water (0.4 g/100 mL at 25°C) but is more soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. Chemically, it is reactive with bases and nucleophiles, and it undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions easily.

4-(1-Pyrrolidinyl)benzaldehyde is typically synthesized through the condensation of benzaldehyde and pyrrolidine in the presence of a strong base like sodium hydride. The reaction is highly selective and provides a good yield, with careful control over temperature and reaction time to avoid overoxidation.

4-(1-Pyrrolidinyl)benzaldehyde (CAS: 51980-54-2) is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drugs, in the polymer industry for the development of advanced materials, and in the sensor industry for the fabrication of gas sensors. It also finds application in the semiconductor industry, particularly in the preparation of organic semiconductor materials.

When handling 4-(1-Pyrrolidinyl)benzaldehyde (CAS: 51980-54-2), wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and safety goggles. Work in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to minimize exposure. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Spills should be cleaned up using appropriate absorbent material, and the area should be well-ventilated. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and safety information.
