Is 4‑Isopropylbenzaldehyde with CAS 122-03-2 the same substance as cuminaldehyde used in industrial formulations?

Yes. CAS 122-03-2 is the standardized industrial identifier covering 4‑Isopropylbenzaldehyde and cuminaldehyde, which refer to the same para‑substituted aromatic aldehyde structure.

Is 4‑Isopropylbenzaldehyde primarily used as a finished ingredient or as an intermediate in fragrance production?

It is typically used as an intermediate in fragrance manufacturing processes, where it participates in further chemical transformations rather than being applied as a finished formulation component.

4‑Isopropylbenzaldehyde CAS 122-03-2

4‑Isopropylbenzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde compound also known in industry as p‑isopropylbenzaldehyde or cuminaldehyde, representing the same chemical identity under a single CAS reference. Identified by CAS 122-03-2, it contains a para‑substituted isopropyl group on the benzaldehyde ring, providing characteristic reactivity of aldehyde functionality that supports selective condensation and transformation reactions. It is typically applied in fragrance intermediate manufacturing, where it serves as a defined aromatic building block in controlled synthesis processes.
