The main use of ozonolysis is for the conversion of unsaturated fatty acids to value-added derivatives. Ozonolysis of oleic acid is an important route to azelaic acid. The coproduct is nonanoic acid: [20] CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CH=CH(CH 2) 7 CO 2 H} + 4 O 3 → HO 2 C(CH 2) 7 CO 2 H} + CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CO 2 H
Methylpentene is an alkene with a molecular formula C 6 H 12.The prefix "methyl-" is derived from the fact that there is a methyl(CH 3) branch, the word root "-pent-" is derived from the fact that there are 5 carbon atoms in the parent chain, while the "-ene" suffix denotes that there is a double bond present, as per IUPAC nomenclature.

R)-2-Methylpent-4-enoic acid can also be used in synthesis of other chiral compounds. For example, it has been used in the process of synthesizing the drug Sacubitril as a reagent for adding a chiral center to the molecule. [2]
Most often, 1-pentene is made as a byproduct of catalytic or thermal cracking of petroleum or during the production of ethylene and propylene via thermal cracking of hydrocarbon fractions. As of 2010s, the only commercial manufacturer of 1-pentene was Sasol Ltd. , where it is separated from crude by the Fischer-Tropsch process .
2-Pentanone or methyl propyl ketone (MPK) is a ketone and solvent of minor importance. It is comparable to methyl ethyl ketone , but has a lower solvency and is more expensive. [ 5 ] It occurs naturally in Nicotiana tabacum (Tobacco) [ 6 ] and blue cheese as a metabolic product of Penicillium mold growth.
3,4-Methylenedioxyphenylpropan-2-one [1] or piperonyl methyl ketone (MDP2P or PMK) is a chemical compound consisting of a phenylacetone moiety substituted with a methylenedioxy functional group. It is commonly synthesized from either safrole (which, for comparison, is 3-[3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenyl]-2-propene) or its isomer isosafrole via ...
The Lemieux–Johnson reaction ceases at the aldehyde stage of oxidation and therefore produces the same results as ozonolysis. The classical Lemieux–Johnson oxidation often generates many side products, resulting in low reaction yields; however the addition of non-nucleophilic bases, such as 2,6-lutidine, can improve on this.

2-Methyl-1-pentanol (IUPAC name: 2-methylpentan-1-ol) is an organic chemical compound. It is used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals. [ 2 ] Due to its low solubility in water it has recently been suggested as a solvent in liquid–liquid extraction of ethanol from fermented feedstocks.
