:5-methylhexanal
Description:
5-Methylhexanal is an organic compound classified as an aldehyde, characterized by its six-carbon chain with a methyl group attached to the fifth carbon. Its molecular formula is C7H14O, indicating the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) typical of aldehydes. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive, pleasant odor, often described as fruity or nutty, which makes it of interest in the flavor and fragrance industries. 5-Methylhexanal is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. It is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and can be involved in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and condensation. Safety data indicates that, like many aldehydes, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizers is recommended to ensure stability and safety.
