Acetaldehyde

Acetaldehyde, or ethanal, is an organic chemical compound with the formula CH₃CHO. It occurs widely in nature, found in coffee, bread, and ripe fruit, and is also produced by plants. In humans, it is produced in the liver during the partial oxidation of ethanol and is a major contributor to the symptoms of a hangover. Industrially, acetaldehyde is a significant precursor for synthesizing a variety of other chemicals, including acetic acid, pyridine derivatives, and pentaerythritol. It is also used as a synthetic flavoring agent, particularly for apple and butter flavors, in foods, beverages, and as a fragrance in perfumes.
