Product Overview
Isovaleraldehyde is a high-purity laboratory reagent designed for precision in organic synthesis and flavor research. This colorless liquid compound, with its characteristic pungent odor, is widely utilized in chemical reactions requiring aldehyde functionality. The laboratory-grade purity ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive experiments where consistency and reliability are critical. Its molecular structure, featuring a branched-chain aldehyde, allows for versatile reactivity in various chemical processes. The compound is stable under standard laboratory conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances to maintain its integrity. Researchers and chemists favor Isovaleraldehyde for its ability to participate in nucleophilic addition reactions, condensation reactions, and as a building block in complex organic molecule synthesis. The 100 ml packaging provides an optimal quantity for both small-scale experiments and larger research projects, balancing convenience with cost-effectiveness. Proper handling with standard laboratory safety protocols is recommended to ensure safe and effective use.
FAQs
