Cuminaldehyde (4-isopropylbenzaldehyde) is a naturalorganic compound with the molecular formula C10H12O. It is abenzaldehyde with anisopropyl group substituted in the 4-position.
Cuminaldehyde is a precursor to another commercially important fragrance,cyclamen aldehyde.[2]
Cuminaldehyde has been investigated for inhibition of the fibrillation ofalpha-synuclein,[3]
Cuminaldehyde can be prepared synthetically by the reduction of 4-isopropylbenzoyl chloride or by theformylation ofcumene.
