Description

Acetic Aldehyde (CAS NO 75-07-0), also known as acetaldehyde, is a fundamental organic compound and a key building block in industrial chemistry. Its high reactivity makes it an essential intermediate for synthesizing a wide range of more complex chemicals and materials. This highly volatile and easily oxidized liquid is critical for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, fragrance, plastics, and food industries seeking a reliable and high-purity feedstock.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis: Primary intermediate for producing acetic acid, pyridine derivatives, pentaerythritol, and other aldehydes.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Key starting material and reagent in the synthesis of various vitamins (e.g., B1, B6), sedatives, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Resin & Polymer Production: Used in the manufacture of urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde resins, as well as synthetic rubber.
• Food & Flavor Industry: Employed as a flavoring agent and in the production of fruit and spice flavor essences (where compliant with relevant food-grade specifications).
• Dye & Perfume Intermediates: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of various dyes, pigments, and fragrance compounds.
• Organic Reactions: Utilized as a solvent and catalyst in numerous organic synthesis processes, including Grignard reactions and aldol condensations.

Quality Control

Our Acetic Aldehyde is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We offer various grades, including industrial and high-purity specifications, to meet diverse application needs. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Store separately from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
