Molecular Formula: C6H5COC4H9
Molecular Weight: 162.23
Synonyms: 1-Phenylpentan-1-one, n-Valerophenone
Product Category: Aromatic ketone fine chemical, flavor & fragrance intermediate, organic synthesis raw material
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Indicators
- Appearance: Colorless transparent oily liquid
- Odor: Mild woody, floral ketone aroma
- Solubility: Soluble in ethanol, ethyl acetate, toluene, dichloromethane; insoluble in water and glycerol
- Boiling Point: 248–250 °C
- Density (20 °C): 0.97 g/cm3
- Refractive Index: 1.505–1.508
- Hygroscopicity: Non-hygroscopic
- Aqueous Stability: Stable in neutral cold water, no hydrolysis at room temperature
Chemical Characteristics
- Molecular Structure: Phenyl group connected with pentanone carbonyl, aromatic aliphatic mixed ketone structure
- Core Reactivity: Carbonyl group supports aldol condensation, reduction, imination and halogenation derivatization
- Photostability: Slightly light-sensitive; long-term UV exposure produces trace yellow impurities
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 220 °C; slow thermal cracking occurs above boiling point
- Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants and concentrated strong alkali
3. Main Application Fields
- Core Application: Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate
Key raw material for synthesizing woody, floral and fruity essence used in perfume, daily fragrance and food flavoring - Pharmaceutical Synthetic Intermediate
Building block for aliphatic-aromatic heterocyclic drug intermediates via carbonyl cyclization reactions - Laboratory Organic Synthesis Reagent
Standard ketone substrate for carbonyl derivatization and cross-coupling methodology research - Cosmetic Fragrance Raw Material
Neutral mild aroma additive for cream, lotion and hair care formulations
4. Platform Category & Product Group Selection Guide
1) Domestic B2B Platform Category
Recommended Path: Organic Intermediates / Organic Intermediates
Reason: Aromatic aliphatic ketone fine chemical for fragrance and pharmaceutical synthesis
2) English Product Group Dropdown Options
Recommended Selection: Basic Organic Chemicals
Do NOT select Pharmaceutical Chemicals; it is universal flavor industrial raw material rather than exclusive human drug bulk material
3. Standard Foreign Trade Packaging Specification
