Valerophenone, Brand Name : Soarwin, CAS No. : 1009-14-9

Valerophenone, also known as 1-phenyl-1-pentanone. It was first synthesized in the early 20th century during studies on aromatic ketones.Valerophenone is a colorless to Light yellow to Light orange clear liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. Its relatively straightforward synthesis involves the Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene with valeryl chloride, catalyzed by aluminum chloride. This discovery added to the understanding of ketone chemistry and paved the way for various applications in scientific and industrial fields.

  Valerophenone serves as an important intermediate in organic synthesis. Its ketone functional group is highly reactive, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions such as reductions, condensations, and Grignard reactions. This versatility makes it valuable for synthesizing a wide range of organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances.
