Pentanal

Description:
Pentanal, also known as valeraldehyde, is a straight-chain aliphatic aldehyde with the molecular formula C5H10O. It is characterized by a five-carbon chain with a terminal aldehyde functional group (-CHO). Pentanal is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a distinctive, pleasant odor reminiscent of freshly cut grass or hay. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, while being only slightly soluble in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. Pentanal is flammable and should be handled with care in a well-ventilated area. It is commonly used in the synthesis of various chemicals, including flavoring agents and fragrances, and serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, pentanal can participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and condensation, making it a versatile compound in both laboratory and industrial applications. Its reactivity and functional group make it an important compound in organic chemistry and related fields.
