[edit] Use in drugs
Benzaldehyde is listed as a precursor by the DEA for the manufacture of amphetamines and phenyl-2-propanone. Not sure if this belongs in the uses section, as it says that it is used to make pharmaceuticals already.

[edit] Aldehyde substituent? - is there such a thing
"Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is a chemical compound consisting of a benzene ring with an aldehyde substituent." We know what this sentence means, but I guess I would say a formyl substituent. Is an aldehyde a functional group?--Smokefoot 03:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- You may be right, what does Jerry March say about this (my copy is in the lab ..). --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
