Natural Hexanal Usage And Synthesis


Description

from coconut fatty acids via methyl-n-octanoate.

Chemical Properties

n-Octanal has a fatty, citrus, honey odor on dilution.

Chemical Properties

liquid

Chemical Properties

Octanal occurs in several citrus oils, for example, orange oil. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, which becomes citrus-like on dilution. Octanal is used in perfumery in low concentrations, in eau de cologne, and in artificial citrus oils.

Definition

ChEBI: A fatty aldehyde formally arising from reduction of the carboxy group of caprylic acid (octanoic acid).

General Description

Colorless liquids with a strong fruity odor. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Flash points 125°F. Used in making perfumes and flavorings.

Health Hazard

Inhalation may be irritating to mucous membrane; overexposure may cause dizziness and collapse. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation.

Safety Profile

Mildly toxic by ingestion and skin contact. A skin and eye irritant. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, sparks, or flame. Can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. See also ALDEHYDES.
