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.
