Chemical Properties

1. Hydrolysis
   • Under acidic or alkaline conditions, hydrolyzes to valeric acid and methanol:
     (Alkaline hydrolysis is more efficient, used in chemical synthesis or waste treatment.)
2. Ester Exchange Reaction
   • Reacts with higher alcohols (e.g., ethanol, butanol) under catalysis to form other valeric acid esters:
3. Combustion
   • Burns completely in air to produce carbon dioxide and water:

Applications

1. Fragrance and Flavor Industry
   • Fragrances: Used in perfumes, soaps, and cosmetics for its fruity, apple-like scent;
   • Food Additives: Approved as a flavoring agent (e.g., in baked goods, confectionery, and beverages; FDA GRAS status, CAS 624-24-8).
2. Solvent and Industrial Intermediates
   • As a solvent for resins, oils, and cellulose derivatives;
   • A precursor in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and plasticizers.
3. Biofuel Research
   • Investigated as a component in biodiesel blends due to its low viscosity and high energy density;
   • Can be produced from renewable feedstocks (e.g., valeric acid from biomass conversion).

Regulations and Safety

• Toxicity: Low toxicity; acute oral LD50 (rat) > 5,000 mg/kg; may cause skin and eye irritation on direct contact;
• Flammability: Highly flammable liquid and vapor; keep away from heat and open flames;
• Environmental Impact: Biodegradable in water; low persistence in soil and air.
