Phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal is a synthetic organic intermediate primarily utilized in fine chemical manufacturing. Its standard molecular formula is C10H14O2, with the CAS registry number 122-60-7. This compound is typically produced via acid-catalyzed acetalization of phenylacetaldehyde with methanol, serving as a protected form for aldehyde functionality.
Strict storage under inert atmosphere at low temperatures is required to prevent hydrolysis. Personnel must utilize appropriate PPE due to flammability and potential irritant properties; avoid direct contact and inhalation of vapors during handling.
