Utilisation

Chemistry & Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Isovaleraldehyde is used in cherry and chocolate notes, to bring a liquorous head note.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Isovaleraldehyde is found in the odorous principle of many fruits and food we consume every day : apple, ginger, beef, lovage…

Isomerism :

Isovaleraldehyde does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Isovaleraldehyde can be used to synthesize Schiff bases, reacting with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example.

Synthesis route :

Isovaleraldehyde is synthesized by oxydation of Isoamyl Alcohol.

Stability :

This molecule may form Schiff bases by reacting with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example, forming another colored and differently smelling compound.

Other comments :

Isovaleraldehyde can be compared to Furfural, standing out thanks to its more pyrogenic and bitter almond gourmand note. Isovaleraldehyde is more etheric and fruity-cherry and pear.
