3-(p-tert-Butylphenyl)isobutylaldehyde（Cat No.:R042981）is an aromatic aldehyde featuring a para-tert-butyl-substituted phenyl ring attached to an isobutylaldehyde moiety. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. The bulky tert-butyl group enhances the compound’s hydrophobic character and can influence steric and electronic properties in downstream reactions. Its aldehyde functionality allows it to participate in condensation, reduction, and oxidation reactions, making it valuable in designing structurally complex molecules in both research and industrial chemical applications.
