     Information  @ a Glance 

• Heptaldehye is a chemical. Its Molecular formula is CH3 (CH2)5 CHO, Molecular Weight 114.18.
• Solubility of Heptaldehyde is 3 volumes of 60 % Alcohol, its Specific Gravity @ 25 / 25 °C 0.814 - .819 , its Refractive Index @ 20 °C 1.412 - 1.420 , its Boiling Point 152-154 °C .

Process

• The synthesis of alcohols by the reduction of aldehydes with sodium borohydride is a reaction that is widely used in industrial organic chemistry.
• The ethanol and n-heptaldehyde were charged into the magnetically stirred flask, which was purged with nitrogen. Spectral scans were then initiated and the sodium borohydride was added.

Application

• Heptaldehyde ismainly used in perfumery in the form of its compound, like Jasmine aldehyde and cocounut aldehyde.
•  It is also used in the preparation of Heptyl Alcohol, Heptanoic Acid etc, Which have subsequent usages in various industries.
• Heptaldehyde can be used as a synthesis intermediate in the fragrance and aroma industry.
• Widely used in Perfumery Industries, Used as solvent in rubber & Plastics Industries, For manufacture of heptanoic Acid, heptyl Alcohol .
• Vulcanization Acceleration in Rubber Industries.
