Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is a colourless liquid
with the characteristic odour of almonds. It
is used as a solvent and in the making of
perfumes and dyes. It occurs in certain
leaves, such as the cherry, laurel, and
peach, and in a combined form in certain nuts
and kernels. It can be extracted from such
natural sources, but is usually made from
toluene.
