Heptadecanal

Description:

Heptadecanal, also known as n-heptadecanal, is a long-chain aliphatic aldehyde with the molecular formula C17H34O. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 17 carbon atoms and a terminal aldehyde functional group (-CHO). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a waxy texture. Heptadecanal is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It has a distinctive fatty odor, which is common among long-chain aldehydes. Heptadecanal is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, fragrance component, and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, it can be found in certain natural sources, such as plant oils and animal fats. Its properties make it relevant in both industrial and research contexts, particularly in studies related to lipid chemistry and biochemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as with many aldehydes, due to potential irritant effects.
