Capot supports the scale-up of 4-Methylvaleraldehyde from kilogram quantities to commercial supply, together with process optimization and quality control based on customer specifications.

Product overview
4-Methylvaleraldehyde (4-methylpentanal) is a branched, saturated aliphatic aldehyde with a six-carbon skeleton, a terminal aldehyde group and a methyl substituent at position 4. The aldehyde carbonyl offers a reactive site for building derivatives that retain this branched carbon framework.
Application areas
Depending on the synthesis route and project requirements, this product may also be suitable for other related organic synthesis applications.
Potential uses
- In organic synthesis, 4-methylpentanal can serve as a carbonyl building block for imine formation followed by reductive amination, potentially introducing a branched 4-methylpentyl group into amine derivatives. Its alpha-methylene group also permits investigation of aldol-type carbon–carbon bond formation.
