Manufacture of Pentanoic acid
In industry, Pentanoic acid is produced by the oxo process from 1-butene and syngas, forming valeraldehyde, which is oxidised to the final product.

H2 + CO + CH3CH2CH=CH2 → CH3CH2CH2CH2CHO → Pentanoic acid

Biology of Pentanoic acid
In humans, Pentanoic acid is a minor product of the gut microbiome and can also be produced by metabolism of its esters found in food.
The restoration of levels of this acid in the gut has been suggested as the mechanism that results in control of Clostridioides difficile infection after fecal microbiota transplant.
