Valerophenone (MF: C₁₁H₁₄O, MW: 162.23) is a crucial organic synthesis intermediate featuring a benzene ring and a pentyl side chain. The carbonyl group (C=O) in its molecule serves as a characteristic functional group, enabling reactions such as ketone reduction, oxidation, and addition. The ketone group (C=O) in its molecule can undergo addition reactions with Grignard reagents, amines, alcohols, etc., yielding derivatives such as alcohols, imines, and ketals.
