5,5-Dimethoxypentanal

Description:
5,5-Dimethoxypentanal is an organic compound characterized by its aldehyde functional group and two methoxy groups attached to the fifth carbon of a pentanal chain. Its molecular structure consists of a five-carbon backbone with the aldehyde group (-CHO) at one end, making it a straight-chain aliphatic aldehyde. The presence of the methoxy groups (-OCH3) enhances its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, which is common among aldehydes. It is soluble in various organic solvents, including ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. 5,5-Dimethoxypentanal can be used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. As with many aldehydes, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties and the need for proper storage to prevent oxidation or polymerization.
