Liquid Propionaldehyde

Product Description

PropionaldehydePropionaldehydeis theorganic compoundwith the formula CH3CH2CHO. It is a saturated 3-carbonaldehydeand is astructural isomerofacetone. It is a colourless liquid with a slightly irritating, fruity odour.It is principally used as a precursor totrimethylolethane(CH3C(CH2OH)3) through acondensation reactionwithformaldehyde; this triol is an important intermediate in the production ofalkydresins. Other applications include reduction to propanol and oxidation to propionic acid.[1] Condensation of propionaldehyde withtert-butylaminegives CH3CH2CH=N-t-Bu, a three-carbon building block used inorganic synthesis. Deprotonation of thisiminewithLDAproduces CH3CHLiCH=N-t-Bu, which in turn condenses withaldehydes.
