Benzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde with an almond odor that can be derived from natural sources. It is widely used by the chemical industry in preparing aniline dyes, perfumes, flavorings, and pharmaceuticals. Benzaldehyde is formed through the oxidation of toluene using vanadium oxide as a catalyst at 350 degrees Celsius, replacing a methyl group with a formyl group to yield benzaldehyde and water.
