Detailed Description

Product name: 2-methylpentanoic acid/Pentanoic acid

• Pentanoic Acid (Valeric Acid, C₄H₉COOH):
  A straight-chain carboxylic acid with a strong, pungent odor resembling cheese or sweat. It is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid that occurs naturally in some essential oils and fermented products. Widely used in flavors, fragrances, and chemical synthesis, it serves as a building block in esters that impart fruity notes.

• 2-Methylpentanoic Acid (C₆H₁₂O₂):
  A branched-chain carboxylic acid, structurally related to valeric acid but with a methyl substitution. It has a distinctive odor and is valued in fragrance formulations, flavor creation, and organic synthesis. Its branched structure gives it slightly different reactivity and sensory characteristics compared to straight-chain pentanoic acid.

Both compounds are important intermediates in the flavor & fragrance industry, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.

Detailed Uses:

1. Food & Flavor Industry

• Used in ester synthesis (such as pentyl esters) to produce fruity, apple- or grape-like notes.

• Adds complexity to artificial flavors in beverages, candies, and baked goods.

2. Fragrance & Perfume Industry

• Used in the creation of esters with pleasant, fruity or floral aromas.

• Adds a natural character to fragrance compositions for soaps, detergents, and cosmetics.

3. Pharmaceuticals

• Serves as a raw material in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates.

• Used in vitamin and supplement formulations in modified ester form.

4. Industrial & Chemical Applications

• Applied in resin, plasticizer, and lubricant manufacturing.

• Useful in agrochemicals as an intermediate.
