N-Methylvaleramide, (N-Methylpentanamide)

Description:
N-Methylvaleramide, also known as N-Methylpentanamide, is an organic compound characterized by its amide functional group, which consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) directly attached to a nitrogen atom (N). This compound features a five-carbon chain, making it a member of the amide family derived from valeric acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. N-Methylvaleramide has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger amides, reflecting its smaller molecular size. The presence of the methyl group enhances its volatility and can influence its reactivity and interaction with other chemical species. This compound is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals, due to its potential applications as a solvent or intermediate in chemical reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many amides, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
