Альдегіди

Aldehydes are organic compounds containing a functional group with the structure R-CH=O. Dodecanal smells soapy, waxy and citrus, while 2-methylundecanal smells metallic, waxy and coumarinic.

Цікавий факт
Dodecanal is called aldehyde C-12 lauric and 2-methylundecanal aldehyde C-12 MNA, yet both have the formula C₁₂H₂₄O. 2-Methylundecanal is a 2-methyl-branched fatty aldehyde, whereas dodecanal has the formula CH₃(CH₂)₁₀CHO. Most sugars are derivatives of aldehydes; these aldoses exist as hemiacetals, and in water only a tiny share of the glucose is in the aldehyde form. Hydroformylation, the industrial route to aldehydes, reached a production capacity of 6.6 × 10⁶ tons in 1995.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Hydroformylation, also called the oxo process, is an industrial process that produces aldehydes from alkenes. The reaction adds a formyl group and a hydrogen atom to a carbon-carbon double bond. The alkene is treated, typically, with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at pressures between 10 and 100 atmospheres and temperatures between 40 and 200 °C, and a transition metal catalyst is required. Since the 1970s, most hydroformylation relies on rhodium-based catalysts. Undecanal is produced commercially by hydroformylation of decene, and the linear nonanal by hydroformylation of 1-octene. Octanal is usually produced by hydroformylation of heptene and by dehydrogenation of 1-octanol. Commercial dodecanal is usually produced from dodecanol by dehydrogenation, and decanal can be prepared by oxidation of decanol.

Octanal is a component of perfumes and is used in flavour production for the food industry. Undecanal is a component of perfumes. Nonanal is used as a fragrance. Dodecanal is a component of many fragrances. Dodecanal is used in odour types such as cologne, violet, pine and chypre. 2-Methylundecanal is used as an amber note in topnote complexes. It is used in all types of perfumery and blends particularly well with floral, woody, amber and tobacco accords. Both dodecanal and 2-methylundecanal have good fabric substantivity. 2-Methylundecanal also serves as a topnote in fruit flavours such as peach and apricot, and it is used as a food additive.
