Nonanal, also called nonanaldehyde, pelargonaldehyde or Aldehyde C-9, is an alkyl aldehyde. A colourless, oily liquid, nonanal is a component of perfumes. Although it occurs in several natural oils, it is produced commercially by hydroformylation of 1-octene.
Nonanal has been identified as a compound that attracts Culex mosquitoes. Nonanal acts synergistically with carbon dioxide.
