4-Chlorobenzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde also known as p-chlorobenzaldehyde or para-chlorobenzaldehyde, all referring to the same chemical substance. Identified by CAS 104-88-1, it contains a reactive aldehyde group combined with a para-substituted chloro aromatic ring, enabling condensation and substitution reactions in organic synthesis. In industrial processing, it is primarily used as an intermediate for pharmaceutical synthesis, where it serves as a key building block in the preparation of active intermediates and fine chemical derivatives.
For industrial supply, this product is available with customized specifications, and complete documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, supporting bulk supply for manufacturing applications.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does CAS 104-88-1 identify the para isomer of Chlorobenzaldehyde?
A: Yes. CAS 104-88-1 identifies 4-Chlorobenzaldehyde, also called p-Chlorobenzaldehyde. The ortho and meta isomers have different CAS numbers, so both the position descriptor and CAS number should appear on the inquiry. -
Q:
What is 4-Chlorobenzaldehyde used for?
A: It is used as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, dyes and agrochemicals, including substituted benzaldehydes and other para-chlorophenyl derivatives. The required purity and free-acid or chlorobenzoic-acid limits depend on the downstream synthesis. -
Q:
Why can 4-Chlorobenzaldehyde arrive as crystals, flakes, chunks or a fused solid?
A: Its melting range is close to normal warehouse temperatures, so the material may melt, solidify or become a supercooled liquid during transit without changing chemical identity. Confirm the offered form, pack type and unloading method before shipment. -
Q:
What should a 4-Chlorobenzaldehyde purchase specification include?
A: Specify GC assay, melting range, color and physical form, plus free acid or 4-chlorobenzoic-acid limits where the downstream synthesis is sensitive. Align the analytical methods and compare the stated batch results rather than relying on nominal purity alone. -
Q:
What storage and environmental controls apply to 4-Chlorobenzaldehyde?
A: Store cool, dry, protected from light and away from oxidizers, air and heat. It is harmful to aquatic life, so prevent spills from entering drains or water bodies and use suitable containment, disposal and emergency-response procedures.
