4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde is an important intermediate for the synthesis of medicines, dyes, flavor and fragrance compounds. It is reported to be formed during the partial oxidation of 4-tert-butyltoluene by hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid, catalyzed by bromide ions in combination with cobalt(II) acetate or cerium(III) acetate.
B 2810 (OTTO) 4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde, 97%,CAS- 939-97-9,is suitable for use in a kinetic study to evaluate the kinetic constants (KI) for inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase by 4-substituted benzaldehydes.
