Description :
Isobutyraldehyde is a colorless, flammable liquid with a strong pungent odor. It is an important intermediate chemical used in the production of fragrances, coatings, plasticizers, and pharmaceuticals.
This compound is valued for its reactivity and versatility in the synthesis of isobutanol, neopentyl glycol, and several aroma ingredients.
Offers vibrant green, a little fruity aldehydic scents that can improve the quality of perfumes, colognes and other scented items. Most often, they are combined frequently with Orange Aldehyde, Citronellyl Propionate, along with Linalyl Acetate to create balanced scents of citrus and floral. It is a precursor in the production of aroma chemicals, including Isobutyl Acetate and Ethyl Isobutyrate, for middle and top notes in perfume formulations.
It is a crucial intermediate for the production of isobutanol, 2-ethylhexanol, and other chemical compounds employed in coatings, adhesives and Lubricants. It is used in the production of plasticizers, resins, and intermediates of agrochemicals due to its flexibility and reactivity. mIt is used for R&D laboratories to create high-quality chemicals and aroma derivatives.
Though not used directly in food, it is used to synthesize esters like Isobutyl Butyrate, contributing to fruity and creamy flavour notes in beverages and confectionery.
Functions as a building block for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active ingredients. Supports the development of vitamins, amino acid derivatives, and specialty chemicals.
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and oxidizing agents.
Avoid direct inhalation or skin contact; use protective gloves, goggles, and clothing.
Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent polymerization or degradation.
