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]
Butyraldehyde, also known as butanal, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 2 CHO. This compound is the aldehyde derivative of butane. It is a colorless flammable liquid with an unpleasant smell. It is miscible with most organic solvents.
Diacetyl (/ d aɪ j ə ˈ s iː t ə l / dy-yuh-SEE-tuhl; IUPAC systematic name: butanedione or butane-2,3-dione) is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3 CO) 2. It is a yellow liquid with an intensely buttery flavor. It is a vicinal diketone (two C=O groups, side-by-side).
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 .
CH 3 CH=CH 2 + H 2 O + 2 CO → CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OH + CO 2. In former times, butanol was prepared from crotonaldehyde, which can be obtained from acetaldehyde. Butanol can also be produced by fermentation of biomass by bacteria. Prior to the 1950s, Clostridium acetobutylicum was used in industrial fermentation to produce butanol. Research in ...
The diketene acetal 3,9-diethylidene-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane, DETOSU, is a reactive bifunctional monomer that forms biodegradable polyorthoesters by polyaddition with α,ω-diols. Polyorthoesters are used as embedding media for pharmaceuticals in extended release formulations for controlled drug release by surface erosion under ...
The product, CH 3 CH(OCH 2 CH 3) 2, is formally named 1,1-diethoxyethane but is commonly referred to as "acetal". [39] This can cause confusion as "acetal" is more commonly used to describe compounds with the functional groups RCH(OR') 2 or RR'C(OR'') 2 rather than referring to this specific compound — in fact, 1,1-diethoxyethane is also ...
It is a precursor to many fine chemicals. A prominent industrial example is the crossed aldol condensation with diethyl ketone to give trimethylcyclohexenone, this can be easily converted to trimethylhydroquinone, which is a precursor to the vitamin E. [8] Other derivatives include crotonic acid, 3-methoxybutanol and the food preservative ...
