CAS 124-13-0: Octanal
Description:Octanal is an organic compound classified as an aldehyde, characterized by its straight-chain structure consisting of eight carbon atoms. Its molecular formula is C8H16O, and it features a functional carbonyl group (C=O) at the terminal position, which is typical of aldehydes. Octanal is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive, pleasant, fatty odor reminiscent of orange or citrus, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger aldehydes, which contributes to its volatility. Octanal is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. It is used in the synthesis of various chemicals and as an intermediate in the production of surfactants and other industrial products. Additionally, octanal can undergo typical aldehyde reactions, such as oxidation to form octanoic acid or reduction to yield octanol. Safety precautions should be taken when handling octanal, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
