Description
Caproic aldehyde is an aliphatic aldehyde of minimum 97 % purity intended for synthesis applications. Identified by CAS number 66-25-1 and EG number 200-624-5, it has the empirical formula C₆H₁₂O and a molar mass of 100,16 g/mol. Key physical data include a density of 0,817 g/cm³, a boiling point of 128,3 °C and a flash point of 26 °C, supporting safe process planning in organic laboratories. Supplied in a 100 ml glass pack, the reagent is well suited to preparative routes, flavour and fragrance intermediate work, and general synthetic transformations where a C₆ aldehyde building block is required. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH arrives with clear identity and hazard documentation, including UN number 1207. Use appropriate ventilation and ignition control when handling this flammable liquid. Its defined specification and convenient laboratory pack size make it a practical choice for research and small-scale production environments that demand consistent quality for synthesis.

Questions about Caproic aldehyde, min. 97 %, for synthesis, 100 ml, glass
What is this article?
Caproic aldehyde, min. 97 %, for synthesis, 100 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
