Uses: benzaldehyde is an important raw material in medicine, dye, spice and resin industry. it can also be used as solvent, plasticizer and low temperature lubricant. In the flavor industry, it is mainly used for the preparation of food flavors, and a small amount is used in daily chemical flavors and tobacco flavors. Although it is widely used as a commercial food condiment and industrial solvent, the main use of benzyl alcohol is to synthesize a variety of other compounds from pharmaceuticals to plastic additives. Benzyl alcohol is also an important intermediate in the production of perfumes, perfumes and the synthesis of some aniline dyes. The Chemicalbook synthesis of mandelic acid uses benzaldehyde as the initial reagent: hydrocyanic acid reacts with benzaldehyde at first, and then mandelic acid is hydrolyzed to obtain racemic mandelic acid. Glaciologists LaChepelle and Stillman reported in 1966 that benzaldehyde and heptanal inhibit the crystallization of ice, thus preventing the formation of thick frost (DepthHoar). This treatment can prevent avalanches caused by unstable snow cover. However, this compound destroys vegetation and pollutes water sources, so it is not widely used for this purpose.
