Explore our core standard extracts and chemical compounds engineered for high-activity formulations.
Pentanoic acid, commonly referred to as valeric acid (CAS Number: 109-52-4, molecular formula: C₅H₁₀O₂), represents a crucial straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid. B2B procurement professionals prioritize high-purity forms of this chemical intermediate for synthesis reactions in manufacturing aviation lubricants, custom cosmetic active ingredients, organic solvent formulations, and specialty pharmaceuticals. Globally, the demand for ODM Acid Pentanoic has surged, driven primarily by the transition toward bio-compatible synthetics and green esterification processes.
As a leading exporter of raw materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), our production lines adhere strictly to high-standard distillation procedures to yield Pentanoic Acid with GC assays exceeding 99.5%. Industrial-scale purchasers demand optimized supply chains capable of delivering custom concentrations, specialized packaging, and strict control of impurities such as branched isomers (isovaleric acid) and moisture content. This ensures optimal yield in downstream esterification reactions.
Our ODM manufacturing network is optimized for the synthesis of ultra-pure Pentanoic Acid derivatives. Key downstream products include butyl valerate, ethyl valerate, and customized metallic salts. These are critical for high-performance plasticizers, eco-friendly solvents, and advanced agricultural herbicides.
Understanding how Pentanoic Acid shapes modern technical engineering across key industrial verticals.
Pentanoic acid is widely esterified with polyols like neopentyl glycol or pentaerythritol to manufacture high-performance polyol esters (POEs). These esters form the backbone of modern aviation turbine lubricants, automotive refrigeration oils, and biodegradable hydraulic fluids that demand excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability under extreme operating pressures.
In pharmaceutical synthesis, Pentanoic Acid acts as a precursor for the production of critical compounds, including anticonvulsant drugs (valproate sodium derivatives) and various sedative therapies. Its clean carboxylic functionality facilitates precise peptide coupling and customized salt formations in GMP-compliant reactors.
Within the agricultural sector, specialized esters and salts derived from Pentanoic Acid serve as active biological components in selective herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its fast-acting biodegradable nature aligns with the regulatory trend of replacing persistent soil toxins with green chemical alternatives.
The traditional synthesis route of pentanoic acid depends on the oxo synthesis of butene to valeraldehyde, followed by liquid-phase catalytic oxidation. However, the modern industrial transition is steering towards renewable resources. We are actively researching the catalytic conversion of levulinic acid—sourced from agricultural cellulosic waste—into gamma-valerolactone, and subsequently to pentanoic acid. This bio-based manufacturing method promises a reduction of up to 45% in carbon emissions compared to fossil-fuel baselines, qualifying our ODM buyers for global carbon credits and eco-label certifications.

Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Chenlv Herb") was established in 2012 as a leading high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, production, and sales of high-purity botanical extracts, active intermediates, and customized organic solutions like Acid Pentanoic. Committed to providing premium, highly active natural materials, our team serves diverse industries including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, functional foods, and advanced industrial chemistry.
Procuring Acid Pentanoic at a global scale introduces multiple operational, chemical regulatory, and supply chain logistics challenges. Due to its classification as a corrosive substance (UN 3265, Class 8, Packing Group III), global freight requires strict adherence to international maritime hazardous goods codes (IMDG) and regional road transportation acts (ADR). As a verified ODM Acid Pentanoic Exporter, Chenlv Herb employs high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drums and ISO tank containers fitted with specialized nitrogen purging systems to prevent oxidation during transit.
Furthermore, global regulatory compliance forms the bedrock of our operations. In the European Union, REACH registration is mandatory for imports exceeding 1 metric ton per annum. In the United States, FDA regulations govern any downstream usage in food contact substances or active pharmaceuticals. We provide complete transparent dossiers including GC-MS profiles, heavy metal limits (typically Pb < 0.5 ppm, As < 0.2 ppm), and residue solvent analysis to guarantee that our chemical intermediates cause zero friction at customs and downstream processing facilities.
Full support for registration dossier templates, DMF filings for pharmaceutical uses, and compliance certificates for direct cosmetic and nutritional food additives.
Providing customized UN-certified packaging configurations including 25kg, 200kg drums, and 20,000L ISO tanks under complete inert nitrogen blanketing to ensure safe ocean and road transport.
Equipped with in-house GC-FID, GC-MS, and ICP-MS testing equipment to guarantee absolute chemical identity, strict isomer ratios, and compliance with high-purity limits.
