Applications of Veratraldehyde丨CAS 120-14-9

1. Flavor and Fragrance Industry

Used as a flavoring agent and fragrance intermediate due to its sweet, woody, and vanilla-like aroma.

Found in:

Perfumes (as a fixative or modifier)

Flavored tobacco products

Food and beverages in trace amounts (subject to regulation)

2. Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry

Intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, including antihypertensives, antifungals, and antispasmodics.

Precursor in the production of veratrum alkaloids and other biologically active compounds.

3. Agrochemicals

Employed in the development of pesticides and herbicides as a building block due to its functional aldehyde and methoxy groups.

4. Organic Synthesis

Utilized as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of:

Fine chemicals

Dyes and pigments

Aromatic heterocycles

Common in research laboratories for developing complex aromatic systems.


 

Benefits

1. Pleasant Odor Profile

Offers a vanilla-like, balsamic aroma, making it ideal for use in cosmetics and perfumes.

2. Versatile Chemical Intermediate

Its reactive aldehyde group and electron-donating methoxy groups enable a wide range of chemical transformations, such as:

Condensation reactions (e.g., for pharmaceuticals)

Reductive amination

Oxidation to corresponding acids or reduction to alcohols

3. Low Toxicity and Good Stability

Relatively safe at low concentrations for use in fragrances and flavors.

Chemically stable under normal storage and processing conditions.

4. Value in Green Chemistry

Can be derived from natural sources (e.g., lignin-derived vanillin) and modified via green chemistry pathways, making it an appealing option for sustainable synthesis.


 

Summary

Veratraldehyde丨CAS 120-14-9 is a valuable aromatic compound with broad utility across flavor, fragrance, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical industries. It is appreciated for its pleasant odor, synthetic flexibility, and relatively low toxicity, making it an essential ingredient and intermediate in both commercial and research applications.
