Chemical Properties
Valerophenone is a colorless to Light yellow to Light orange clear liquid that is soluble in organic solvents.
Valerophenone is an aromatic ketone that is often used as a tool in the study of various photochemical processes. It is used as intermediates of liquid crystals. It is also an inhibitor of the enzyme carbonyl reductase.
ChEBI: Valerophenone is an aromatic ketone that consists of benzene substituted by a pentanoyl group. It has a role as a volatile oil component and a plant metabolite.
Valerophenone is a prochiral ketone which can undergo Norrish Type II reaction and hence can be used as a UV actinometer in photochemical experiments.

Valerophenone is prepared from benzene and valeryl chloride by friedel-crafts reaction or from methyl benzoate by the Grignard reaction.
1-Phenyl-1-pentanone, also known as butyl phenyl ketone or pentanophenone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. 1-Phenyl-1-pentanone is a balsam and valerian tasting compound. 1-Phenyl-1-pentanone has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as celery stalks (Apium graveolens var. dulce), green vegetables, and wild celeries (Apium graveolens). This could make 1-phenyl-1-pentanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
