INTRODUCTION
Valeraldehyde, an aliphatic compound, is a colorless liquid with intense, clinging odor. It is naturally abundant in many essential oils. Apart from being an aroma chemical itself, it is applied to synthesize downstream products that are F&F chemicals and intermediates.
Manufacture
The aldehyde is produced on large scale by hydroformylation of Raffinate-2 / butene-1 with syngas. An alternate syngas hydroformylation process with ethylene is also used, whereby the by-product is propionaldehyde.

APPLICATIONS
| Flavors and Fragrances | Pentanal is an aroma ingredient. When diluted, it emits dry fruity undertone that is responsible for its use in flavors. Valeraldehyde is consumed in the process to manufacture methyl dihydrojasmonate, a diffusive aroma compound, with odor like jasmine. |
| Intermediates | The aldehyde is raw material for production of Amyl alcohol & Valeric acid |
| Others | Valeraldehyde is cited to have a role in manufacturing of some resins, and it also acts as rubber accelerator. |
