CAS 2765-11-9

Pentadecanal

Description:

Pentadecanal, with the CAS number 2765-11-9, is a straight-chain aliphatic aldehyde characterized by a 15-carbon atom chain (C15H30O). It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive fatty odor, typical of long-chain aldehydes. Pentadecanal is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its molecular structure features a terminal aldehyde functional group (-CHO), which contributes to its reactivity, particularly in condensation reactions and as a potential precursor in organic synthesis. Pentadecanal is used in various applications, including the production of fragrances, flavoring agents, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in research related to natural products and potential therapeutic applications. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
