4-Cyanobenzaldehyde Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

WHITE TO SLIGHTLY BEIGE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Uses

4-Cyanobenzaldehyde, is used as an intermediate for organic synthesis.It is also used as an intermediate in the pharmaceutical and research department.

Uses

4-Formylbenzonitrile can be used in the synthesis of various boron-dipyrromethenes (BODIPY), porphyrins, corroles and other related macrocycles.

Uses

4-Cyanobenzaldehyde is used as a reagent in the synthesis of hydrazone based inhibitors of adipose-triglyceride lipase (ATGL). 4-Cyanobenzaldehyde is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of BAZ2-ICR which is a chemical probe targeting the bromo domains of BAZ2A and BAZ2B.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-cyanobenzaldehyde is a member of benzaldehydes.
