7-Octenal

Description:

7-Octenal is an unsaturated aldehyde characterized by its linear chain structure, consisting of eight carbon atoms with a double bond located between the seventh and eighth carbon atoms. It has the molecular formula C8H14O and features a functional aldehyde group (-CHO) at one end of the carbon chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as fatty or green, which makes it of interest in the flavor and fragrance industries. 7-Octenal is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the double bond and the aldehyde group, making it susceptible to oxidation and addition reactions. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Additionally, 7-octenal can be derived from natural sources, such as certain essential oils, and may also be synthesized through various chemical processes. Its applications extend to use in organic synthesis, as well as in the formulation of perfumes and flavorings, highlighting its significance in both industrial and research contexts.
