Application | used in the preparation of n-butyl aldehyde, n-butyl alcohol, rubber vulcanization accelerator, alcohol denaturant and tanning agent, for the preparation of butyraldehyde, butanol, 2-ethylhexanol, sorbic acid, 3-methoxybutyraldehyde, 3-methoxybutanol, crotonic acid, quinaldine, maleic anhydride and pyridine products. In addition, an epoxy resin raw material and an epoxy plasticizer can be obtained by reacting butenal with butadiene. The heat-resistant resin raw material can be obtained by reacting with quaternary pentane tetraol. Butenal can also be used to prepare foaming agents, dyes and rubber antioxidants, pesticides and military chemicals for mineral processing. Technical grade crotonaldehyde is actually a mixture of trans-and cis-isomers [4170-30-3]. However, the cis isomer is unstable, and the content is less than 1%. used as standard substance for chromatographic analysis, rubber accelerator, antioxidant and insecticide, also used in organic synthesis |
production method | the liquid phase condensation of acetaldehyde under the catalysis of alkali or anion exchange resin to produce butanol aldehyde, the butanol aldehyde is obtained by heating, condensation and dehydration in dilute acid. Each ton of crotonaldehyde consumed acetaldehyde 1405kg, sodium hydroxide 4.7, 4kg of acid. |
spontaneous combustion temperature | 320 ° F. |
