Storage method
Storage Precautions[21] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37°C. The packaging must be sealed and must not come into contact with air. They should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, alkalis, etc. and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
1. n-pentanol oxidation method (gas phase oxidation is carried out at 550°C; liquid phase oxidation is carried out in the presence of Na2Cr2O7 and H2SO4). 
2. 1-butene carbonyl synthesis method 1-butene and Synthesis gas (CO/H2) reacts at 19.6-29.4MPa and 150-170℃.
Purpose
1. The main uses are hydrogenation to produce pentanol and oxidation to produce valeric acid. Raw materials for spices and rubber accelerators can also be used.
2. Used as spice and rubber accelerator. [22]
