A chemical compound formed by condensing benzaldehyde with aniline; used as a reagent and intermediate in organic synthesis.
From 'benzal-' (benzaldehyde) + 'aniline' (from 'anil,' an indigo plant, via Portuguese from Arabic). Aniline is a foundational aromatic amine compound in chemistry.
Benzalaniline is a simple Schiff base—one of chemistry's elegant shortcuts where combining just two molecules creates useful new properties that neither had alone.
