4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde; CAS No.: 6203-18-5; 4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde. PROPERTIES: 4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde appears as a pale yellow to colorless liquid with a strong, sweet odor. Its molecular formula is C11H11NO2, corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 181.21 g/mol. The compound exhibits a boiling point around 130-135 C at 760 mmHg and a density of about 1.08 g/cm? at 25 C. It demonstrates moderate solubility in common organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and diethyl ether but is sparingly soluble in water. The substance is sensitive to oxidation and may form explosive peroxides upon prolonged storage. Proper storage requires keeping it in a tightly sealed, amber glass container with a suitable stabilizer, in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The temperature should be maintained below 10 C if possible. Safety precautions include using chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and lab coats to prevent skin absorption and inhalation of vapors. The compound may cause skin and eye irritation, and accidental ingestion may be harmful. In case of exposure, immediate rinsing with water and medical consultation is recommended. APPLICATIONS: 4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde serves as a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly valuable in the preparation of cinnamaldehyde derivatives used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its aldehyde and dimethylamino functionalities enable participation in condensation reactions and nucleophilic additions, facilitating the synthesis of complex molecular frameworks (Journal of Organic Chemistry). In the fragrance and flavor industry, 4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde functions as a flavoring agent and fragrance component, providing sweet and fruity notes in various formulations (Perfume & Flavourist). Additionally, it finds application in the development of certain analytical reagents and chromogenic agents, where its cinnamaldehyde structure and dimethylamino group undergo selective reactions to produce colorimetric or fluorimetric signals (Analytical Chemistry). The compound is also employed in the synthesis of certain heterocyclic compounds and conjugated systems used in materials science for their optical and electronic properties (Tetrahedron Letters).
