环戊烷甲醛可由环己烯与过硫酸盐通过铜催化的氧化而制得。它也可由硫酸汞和环己烯合成。 环戊烷甲醛可被用于合成： · D,L-反式-2-环戊基亚甲基-1-亚硝基-1-（2-羟基环己基）肼 · 5-环戊基-5-羟基-2-戊烯酸乙酯 · 3-环烯基-3-羟基-2-乙烯基丙酸乙酯 Cyclopentanecarboxaldehyde can be prepared from cyclohexene, via copper-catalyzed oxidation with persulfate. It can also be synthesized from mercuric sulfate and cyclohexene. Cyclopentanecarboxaldehyde may be used in the synthesis of: · D,L-trans-2-cyclopentylmethylene-1-nitroso-1-(2-hydroxycyclohexyl)hydrazine · ethyl 5-cyclopentyl-5-hydroxy-2-pentenoate · ethyl 3-cyclo entyl-3-hydroxy-2-vinylpropanoate
