  • Inhalation Risk:No indication can be given about the rate at which a harmful concentration of this substance in the air is reached on evaporation at 20 °C.
  • Effects of Short Term Exposure:The substance is irritating to the eyes.
  • Importance and Versatility Benzaldehyde is a vital organic compound widely used as an intermediate in various industries. It serves as a key building block for the synthesis of perfumes, epoxy resins, plasticizers, drugs, sweeteners, and fine chemicals.
  • Industrial Production Benzaldehyde is industrially produced through two main processes: the catalytic oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid with oxygen and the hydrolysis of benzyl chloride.
    Current synthetic routes have drawbacks such as high temperatures, long reaction times, and the production of chloride wastes, resulting in low catalytic conversion and poor benzaldehyde yield.
  • Alternative Production Methods Selective oxidation of styrene to benzaldehyde has gained attention due to its simplicity and environmental friendliness.
    Various homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts have been explored for this process, with heterogeneous catalysts being more promising due to easy separation and recycling.
  • Challenges in Toluene Oxidation Toluene oxidation to benzaldehyde presents challenges, with traditional processes requiring high temperatures and pressures.
    Photocatalysis offers a green and low-energy consumption alternative, but its low solar energy conversion efficiency limits practical applications.
    Strategies to improve photocatalytic efficiency include enhancing separation and migration rates of photogenerated charge carriers.
