4-Oxopentanal

Description:

4-Oxopentanal, also known as 4-oxopentanal or 4-oxopentanal, is an organic compound characterized by its aldehyde functional group and a ketone group located at the fourth carbon of a five-carbon chain. Its molecular formula is C5H8O2, indicating the presence of five carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits reactivity typical of both aldehydes and ketones, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes. 4-Oxopentanal can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions, and its functional groups allow for further derivatization, which is valuable in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may have applications in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling 4-oxopentanal, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
