Phthalaldehyde is a slightly white crystalline powder, readily soluble in alcohol, ether, and hot water. Its CAS number is 623-27-8, molecular weight: 134.132, melting point: 114-116°C, boiling point: 245-248°C. Terephthalaldehyde is primarily used in the dye, fluorescent brightener, pharmaceutical, and fragrance industries, and is an important raw material for organic synthesis and fine chemicals. Because it has two active aldehyde groups, it can both self-polymerize and copolymerize with other monomers to form polymers with various properties, making it a key monomer in the synthesis of polymer materials.
