Apart from its value as a potential fuel in its own right, gamma-valerolactone has shown promise in laboratory-scale thermocatalytic production of soluble carbohydrates from corn stover and wood at high yields. The biomass reacts in a solvent mixture of water, dilute sulfuric acid, and gamma-valerolactone, itself derived from biomass.

An example SDS, including guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties. A safety data sheet (SDS), [1] material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.
Valeric acid or pentanoic acid is a straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH 3 (CH 2) 3 COOH. Like other low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids, it has an unpleasant odor . It is found in the perennial flowering plant Valeriana officinalis , from which it gets its name.
[14] [15] [16] Valproic acid is a branched short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), a derivative of valeric acid. [14] Valproate was originally synthesized in 1881 and came into medical use in 1962. [17] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [18] It is available as a generic medication. [7]
Pivalic acid is a carboxylic acid with a molecular formula of (CH 3) 3 CCO 2 H. This colourless, odiferous organic compound is solid at room temperature. Two abbreviations for pivalic acid are t -BuC(O)OH and PivOH .
Methyl pentanoate, commonly known as methyl valerate, is the methyl ester of pentanoic acid (valeric acid) with a fruity odor. Methyl pentanoate is commonly used in fragrances, beauty care, soap, laundry detergents at levels of 0.1–1%. In a very pure form (greater than 99.5%) it is used as a plasticizer in the manufacture of plastics.
A study in mice demonstrated that a single amino acid substitution (N265M) in the β3 subunit severely decreases the anxiolytic effect. Modulation of ion channel action was not significantly dependent on incorporation of α1, α2, α3 or α5 subunits. [5] At the 5-HT 5A receptor valerenic acid acts as a partial agonist.
