CAS 66-25-1

Hexanal

Description:

Hexanal, with the CAS number 66-25-1, is an aliphatic aldehyde characterized by its six-carbon chain and the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) at the terminal position. It has a molecular formula of C6H12O and is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive, pleasant, fatty odor reminiscent of freshly cut grass or certain fruits. Hexanal is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Its boiling point is relatively low, making it volatile. Hexanal is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent in the food industry and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, it can participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation to form hexanoic acid or reduction to produce hexanol. Due to its reactivity, hexanal is also studied for its potential roles in biological systems and its implications in fragrance chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling hexanal, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.

Hexanal is a volatile organic compound that has been shown to have biological properties. It is found in a variety of natural compounds, such as hexenol and caproic acid, which are used in the production of perfume. Hexanal can be extracted from these compounds using solid phase microextraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This compound has been shown to inhibit transcription activator activity by binding to DNA at the transcription factor binding site, decreasing the intracellular Ca2+ levels and enzyme activities. Hexanal can also be used in analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for detection of dinucleotide phosphate (DNP).
