Octanal

Heptanal or heptanaldehyde is an alkyl aldehyde. It is a colourless liquid with a strong fruity odor, which is used as precursor to components in perfumes and lubricants.

It can be obtained from castor oil by distillation under reduced pressure. It is synthesized by degradation of the esters of ricinoleic acid. It is also prepared by hydroformylation of hexene.

Industrially, it is used in the manufacture of α-amylcinnamaldehyde, a component of many fragrances. It is the precursor to 1-heptanol and ethyl heptanoate, the latter being a component of certain lubricants.
