Salicylaldehyde

Salicylaldehyde is extremely harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin.

Chemical Formula: C₃₀H₃₀O₈

Layman's explanation: Salicylylaldehyde is characterized as a colorless to yellow oily liquid with a bitter almond color. It is relatively stable under normal use and storage standards. Known to be combustible, salicylaldehyde is not compatible with strong bases or strong oxidizing agents. It is extremely harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin and is generally known to be hazardous. Salicylaldehyde is used commonly as a synthesis intermediate in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and perfumeries. It is also used as a chelating agent.

Keywords: perfume, agrochemicals production, combustible
