China and Germany are the leading exporters of 2-Ethylbutanal (CAS 97-96-1), accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the largest importers. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest fluctuations aligned with shifts in 2-Ethylbutanal prices and regional demand from fragrance and pharmaceutical intermediates sectors.
2-Ethylbutanal is a colorless to pale yellow, volatile liquid with a pungent, aldehydic odor. It is an aliphatic aldehyde, classified as an organic chemical intermediate. With a boiling point of approximately 135–137 °C and moderate volatility, it is typically handled as a liquid at ambient conditions. It serves primarily as a building block in organic synthesis, notably in the production of specialty fragrances, plasticizers (e.g., via reduction to 2-ethylbutanol), and agrochemical intermediates. Its main application areas include flavor and fragrance compounds, polymer additives, and select fine chemical syntheses.
