Acyclic aliphatic aldehydes are organic compounds characterized by a linear, non-aromatic structure and a carbonyl group (C=O) at the end of an aliphatic carbon chain. These compounds often have strong, pungent odors and are used in various applications, including perfumery and the food industry, to provide distinctive scents and flavors. Common examples include acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde.
