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. Its primary use is in the synthesis of its esters.
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.
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.
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.
[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 .
γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid (GHV), also known as 4-methyl-GHB, is a designer drug related to γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). It is sometimes seen on the grey market as a legal alternative to GHB, but with lower potency and higher toxicity, [ 2 ] properties which have tended to limit its recreational use.
Hydroxyvaleric acid or hydroxypentanoic acid may refer to the following compounds: α-Hydroxyvaleric acid (2-hydroxyvaleric acid) β-Hydroxyvaleric acid (3-hydroxyvaleric acid) γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid (4-hydroxyvaleric acid) ω-Hydroxyvaleric acid (5-hydroxyvaleric acid), a ω-hydroxy acid; The carboxylate of the acid is hydroxyvalerate or ...
