| Introduction | pentanoic acid is a short-chain saturated fatty acid, also known as pentanoic acid, valeric acid, etc. Pentanoic acid is a colorless transparent liquid at room temperature, the relative density of 0.9391, soluble in water, ethanol and ether and other solutions, flammable, with an unpleasant odor socks, exists in the perennial flowering plant valerian. |
| Application | pentanoic acid is an important chemical raw material, mainly used in the synthesis of valerate, with a pleasant aroma, it can be used in perfumes and cosmetics, and ethyl valerate and amyl valerate have fruit aroma and are used as food additives. Valerate is widely used in perfume, medicine, lubricant, plasticizer and other industries. It is a widely used chemical raw material. |
| synthesis method | after adding a part of 1-chlorobutane to the mixture of metallic magnesium and solvent, the remaining 1-chlorobutane is added dropwise within 3-10min, and the reaction system is maintained in reflux state. After the addition of 1-chlorobutane is completed, the reaction system is refluxed until the reaction is completed, the resulting reaction mixture was added dropwise to a reaction vessel containing dry ice within 10-30min, and naturally warmed to room temperature. Then, MgHSO4 was added, stirred, and the reaction was completed, followed by Suction filtration. The reaction raw materials have a wide range of sources and low cost, and are suitable for industrial production. The reaction route is as follows: |
| content analysis | accurately weigh 1500mg of sample, dissolve in 0.1 mL of 50% isopropanol pre-neutralized with mol/L sodium hydroxide [phenolphthalein test solution (TS-167) as indicator. Titrate with 0.5mol/L sodium hydroxide to the pink endpoint. Each ml of 0.5mol/L sodium hydroxide equivalent to valeric acid (C5H10O2)51.07mg. |
| toxicity | GRAS(FEMA). LD50 600mg/kg (mouse, oral). |
| usage limit | FEMA(mg/kg): Soft drink 1.2; Cold drink 1.8; Candy 2.5; Baked goods 8.0. Moderate limits (FDA § 172.515,2000). |
| Application | is mainly used for the preparation of N-valeric acid ester perfume. Mainly used in the preparation of cream, cheese, cream hard candy, strawberry and rum and other flavors. mainly used in the production of valerate, as raw materials of spices. Estrogen estradiol valerate and disinfectant raw materials. polyol esters of synthetic lubricants for the production of refrigerants (CFC substitutes), motors and jet engines, esterified with lower alcohols as solvents and as perfumes and perfumes, it can also be used in the production of crop protection products. organic synthesis of basic raw materials, widely used in spices, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, plasticizers and other industries. |
| production method | n-pentanol is obtained by electrolytic oxidation. It is also possible to react formic acid with 1-butene to form N-pentanoic acid. obtained from the oxidation of N-pentanol. By butyl bromide and sodium cyanide reaction of nitrile, and then saponified. |
