Metabolite Identification
Common NamePentanal
DescriptionPentanal, also known as N-valeraldehyde or amyl aldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-hydrogen aldehydes. These are aldehydes with the general formula HC(H)(R)C(=O)H, where R is an organyl group. Thus, pentanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. Pentanal exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule.
