General description

Valeraldehyde also known as pentanal, serves as a precursor or intermediate to build more complex organic molecules.

Application

Valeraldehyde has been used to study its time-weighted average sampling using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) device.
Valeraldehyde is used as a gaseous standard in the study of the sorptive loss pattern for volatile compounds.
Valeraldehyde is used in flavoring compounds and as a rubber accelerator.

In this study, the sorptive loss patterns for volatile organic compounds were evaluated by gaseous standards containing 13 compounds (benzene, toluene, styrene, p-xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, isobutyl alcohol, butyl acetate, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, and valeraldehyde).

Upon hexanal-modification in the presence of NaCNBH(3), the oxidized B chain of insulin becomes mono- and further dialkylated on both the N-terminal and Lys(29) residues. A pseudo-MS(3) study was performed with a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer on the different modified lysine-containing
