Heptaldehyde

<p>Heptaldehyde is a colorless liquid with a pleasant, sweet odor. It is used in the production of polyvinyl chloride and other chemicals. In addition, it can be an important biomarker in environmental studies. Heptaldehyde is produced by the reaction of ethyl decanoate with water vapor or methyl ethyl ketone. It is also an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, which may be due to its hydroxyl group and acetyl group. Furthermore, heptaldehyde has been shown to react with p-nitrophenyl phosphate to form p-nitrophenol. The following table outlines the chemical properties of heptaldehyde: Molecular formula: C7H8O Molecular weight: 112.14 g/mol Boiling point (°C): 212 °C Melting point (°C): -78 °C Density (g/cm3): 1.096</p>

<p>Heptanal is used as a synthesis intermediate in the fragrances and flavors industry. It is the precursor to 1-heptanol, ethyl heptanoate and for certain lubricants.
