Introduction
2-Methylvaleric acid, also known as isovaleric acid, is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of 2-methylpentanoic acid:
Quality:
Appearance: 2-methylpenteric acid is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor at room temperature.
Solubility: It can be dissolved in water and organic solvents (such as alcohols, ethers, esters).
Use:
Chemical synthesis: 2-methylpenteric acid can be used as an important raw material for the synthesis of other organic compounds, such as for the preparation of fragrances, esters, etc.
Method:
2-methylpenteric acid can be obtained by the oxidation synthesis of ethylene through alpaca catalyst, and 2-methylpenteraldehyde is formed in the reaction, which is subsequently reduced to 2-methylpenteric acid by hydroxyl ions or other reducing agents.
Safety Information:
2-Methylpentanoic acid is an irritating substance, and precautions should be taken when in contact with the skin and eyes to avoid skin irritation and eye damage.
When using and storing 2-methylpentanoic acid, contact with strong oxidizing agents and high temperatures should be avoided to prevent fire or explosion.
Pay attention to good ventilation during operation and avoid inhaling vapors.
In case of accidental contact with or accidental ingestion of 2-methylpentanoic acid, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
