  • Applications

    3-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde (CAS 1700-37-4) is primarily used as an organic synthesis intermediate across fine chemicals. In perfumery and flavor contexts, it is employed as a precursor to additional aroma compounds and fragrance ingredients. It is also commonly utilized as a protecting-group precursor for phenolic substrates in multi-step pharmaceutical and agrochemical syntheses. In coatings, inks, and polymer manufacturing, it serves as a versatile aryl-aldehyde building block for dye and resin precursors. Additionally, it is valued in research and development as a versatile starting point for constructing heterocyclic motifs and other functionalized aromatics.
