CAS 123-15-9

(±)-2-Methylpentanal

Description:

(±)-2-Methylpentanal, with the CAS number 123-15-9, is an aliphatic aldehyde characterized by its five-carbon chain and a methyl group attached to the second carbon. This compound has a molecular formula of C6H12O and features a functional aldehyde group (-CHO) at one end of the chain, which is responsible for its reactivity and characteristic odor. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its pleasant, fruity aroma, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The presence of the chiral center at the second carbon results in two enantiomers, contributing to its designation as (±)-2-Methylpentanal, indicating a racemic mixture. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and has moderate solubility in water. Its reactivity includes participation in typical aldehyde reactions, such as oxidation and condensation. Safety considerations include flammability and potential irritant effects, necessitating proper handling and storage protocols in laboratory and industrial settings.
