Uses
Pentadecanal only rarely offered from the
regular manufacturers of perfume chemicals,
is occasionally used in perfume compositions
as pari of a floral base or part of a floral top
note, aldehydic-green or aldehydic-fruity topnote.
It blends excellently with Methylnonylacetaldehyde and has a mellowing effect upon that
material, but in general, pentadecanal is
dispensable in modem perfumery.
Production Methods
Pentadecanal can be produced by oxidation of Pentadecanol.
