CAS 18295-59-5

2-Propylpentanal

Description:

2-Propylpentanal, with the CAS number 18295-59-5, is an organic compound classified as an aldehyde. It features a five-carbon straight-chain structure with a propyl group attached to the second carbon of the pentanal backbone. This compound is characterized by its functional group, the aldehyde (-CHO), which is responsible for its reactivity and distinctive properties. Typically, aldehydes exhibit a polar nature due to the presence of the carbonyl group, leading to higher boiling points compared to hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight. 2-Propylpentanal is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The compound can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and condensation, making it useful in organic synthesis and as a potential intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as aldehydes can be irritants and pose health risks.

2-Propyl valeraldehyde

CAS: 18295-59-5

2-Propyl valeraldehyde is a solvent that is used in pharmaceutical preparations and has been shown to inhibit the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes. 2-Propyl valeraldehyde also inhibits the formation of carboxylic acids by competitive inhibition with metal ions such as zinc. The deuterium isotope effect has been used to show that 2-propyl valeraldehyde is metabolized by deuterium exchange. Mass spectrometric detection has shown that this compound contains a carbonyl group (C=O). This compound can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis reactions, but it also has convulsant effects.
