| Valerophenone Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Valerophenone is a colorless to Light yellow to Light orange clear liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. |
| Uses | Valerophenone is an aromatic ketone that is often used as a tool in the study of various photochemical processes. It is used as intermediates of liquid crystals. It is also an inhibitor of the enzyme carbonyl reductase. |
| Definition | ChEBI: Valerophenone is an aromatic ketone that consists of benzene substituted by a pentanoyl group. It has a role as a volatile oil component and a plant metabolite. |
| Application | Valerophenone is a prochiral ketone which can undergo Norrish Type II reaction and hence can be used as a UV actinometer in photochemical experiments. |
| Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 42, p. 1194, 1977 DOI: 10.1021/jo00427a020 Tetrahedron Letters, 30, p. 1773, 1989 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(00)99576-5 |
| Synthesis | Valerophenone is prepared from benzene and valeryl chloride by friedel-crafts reaction or from methyl benzoate by the Grignard reaction. |
| Properties and Applications | 1-Phenyl-1-pentanone, also known as butyl phenyl ketone or pentanophenone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. 1-Phenyl-1-pentanone is a balsam and valerian tasting compound. 1-Phenyl-1-pentanone has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as celery stalks (Apium graveolens var. dulce), green vegetables, and wild celeries (Apium graveolens). This could make 1-phenyl-1-pentanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods |
