2-Methyl-3-(p-isopropylphenyl)propionaldehyde, known as Lilial or lily aldehyde, is a synthetic aromatic aldehyde used extensively in fragrance chemistry research. Its odor profile, reminiscent of lily of the valley, makes it a subject of interest in the study of olfactory receptors and the science of smell. In analytical chemistry, it acts as a standard for calibrating chromatographic equipment due to its distinct and consistent fragrance profile. Researchers in organic chemistry also explore its reactivity, particularly focusing on the aldehyde functional group, to synthesize novel compounds and to understand the mechanisms of nucleophilic addition reactions. Furthermore, the compound serves as a starting material in the synthesis of other complex fragrance molecules, aiding in the development of new scents and flavorings.
