Isovaleraldehyde organic compound, also known as 3-methylbutanal, with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CHO. It is an aldehyde, a colorless liquid at STP, [1] and found in low concentrations in many types of food. [2] Commercially it is used as a reagent for the production of pharmaceuticals, perfumes and pesticides. [3]
1,1-Diethoxyethane (acetaldehyde diethyl acetal) is a major flavoring component of distilled beverages, especially malt whisky [3] and sherry. [4] Although it is just one of many compounds containing an acetal functional group, this specific chemical is sometimes called simply acetal .
Used in a more general sense, the term X,Y-acetal also refers to any functional group that consists of a carbon bearing two heteroatoms X and Y. For example, N,O-acetal refers to compounds of type R 1 R 2 C(OR)(NR' 2) (R,R' ≠ H) also known as a hemiaminal ether or Aminal, a.k.a. aminoacetal.
Hydrogenation of 3-hydroxybutanal gives 1,3-butanediol: CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CHO + H 2 → CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CH 2 OH. This diol is a precursor to 1,3-butadiene, precursor to diverse polymers. Polymerization of 3-hydroxybutanal is also spontaneous, but can be stopped with the addition of water. Aldol has been used in making perfumes and in ore ...
