Isovaleraldehyde is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H10O. Also known as 3-methylbutanal, it is an aldehyde compound.
Isovaleraldehyde is a colorless liquid with characteristic aromas similar to those of bananas and grapes. It is a low boiling point volatile substance that can evaporate at room temperature. It is soluble in water and many organic solvents.
Isovaleraldehyde is mainly used as an additive in food and essence to enhance flavor. It is commonly used to create fruity flavors such as bananas, apples, grapes, etc; It can also be used to make pastries and milk yellow Isovaleraldehyde, with chemical formula C5H10O. It is an organic compound, also known as 3-methylbutanal. It is a colorless liquid Isovaleraldehyde, also known as isovaleraldehyde, and is an organic compound. Its chemical formula is C5H10O, with a carbonyl group (C=O) and a methyl group (CH3) in its structure. Isovaleraldehyde is a liquid with a pungent odor that appears yellow at room temperature.
Isovaleraldehyde is obtained by the oxidation reaction of isoamyl alcohol. It can be used as a chemical raw material to prepare a series of compounds, such as alcohols, acids, esters, etc. Isovaleraldehyde is mainly used in the fields of spices, pharmaceuticals, and organic synthesis. For example, it can be used as an ingredient in perfume and condiments to add fruit or cream aroma to products. In addition, isovaleraldehyde is also used to manufacture certain drugs, such as sedatives and analgesics. In the field of organic synthesis, it can serve as an important intermediate and play a role in connecting different carbon skeletons in synthesis.
It should be noted that due to its irritating odor and flammability, isovaleraldehyde should be handled safely and avoid contact with the skin and inhalation of its vapors.
