For those in need of Valeric acid, it is available in a 99% concentration with a 100ml bottle size. The CAS number for the product is 109-52-4, and its IUPAC name is pentanoic acid. Valeric acid is often used in the synthesis of esters that carry fruity flavors, such as ethyl valerate and penthyl valerate. These esters make great food additives since they add aroma and taste to food products. Valeric acid carries an unpleasant odor, which makes it less appealing in many cases. However, when synthetically altered, valeric acid's volatile esters tend to have a pleasant aroma, making them perfect for use in the production of cosmetics and perfumes. The chemical structure of valeric acid makes it similar in shape to GHB and GABA neurotransmitters, even though it lacks the alcohol and amine functional groups that contribute to their biological activities. Valeric acid's only major difference from valproic acid is the lack of a 3-carbon side-chain. Valeric acid, also known as pentanoic acid, is a highly sought after low-molecular-weight carboxylic acid that has a chemical formula of C5H10O2 and a molecular weight of 102.13. This versatile substance boasts a straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid structure and is naturally occurring in the Valeriana officinalis perennial flowering plant.
