3-Ethylheptanal

Description:
3-Ethylheptanal is an organic compound classified as an aldehyde, characterized by its seven-carbon chain with an ethyl group attached to the third carbon. Its molecular formula is C9H18O, indicating the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) at one end of the chain, which is typical for aldehydes. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive, pleasant odor, often associated with fatty aldehydes. 3-Ethylheptanal is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. It is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the aldehyde functional group, making it susceptible to oxidation and nucleophilic addition reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many aldehydes, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties and the need for proper ventilation during use.
