production method | The industrial method is mainly carbonyl synthesis: propylene, carbon monoxide and hydrogen are used as raw materials to obtain a mixture of n-butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde through carbonyl synthesis, and then fractionation to obtain the finished product. Using different process methods, the ratio of n-butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde is also different. The positive ratio of high pressure method is 3-4:1, and the positive ratio of low pressure method is 8-10:1. |
production method | is obtained by reacting propylene with carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It is obtained by oxidation of isobutanol by potassium dichromate and concentrated sulfuric acid. |
introduction |
n-butyraldehyde is a colorless and transparent liquid with a suffocating smell. Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It can be used in organic synthesis and is also a raw material for making spices. |
content analysis | determined according to the content analysis method in "acetaldehyde (03401). The sample size was 900 mg and the reaction time was 60min. In the calculation, every 0.5mol/L sulfuric acid is equivalent to 36.06 mg of isobutyraldehyde (C4H8O). |

Use | GB 2760-1996 specifies the permitted use of flavorants. Mainly used in the preparation of caramel, banana and a variety of fruit flavor. used for making rubber vulcanization accelerator and antioxidant, isobutyric acid, etc. The use of isobutyraldehyde is not as extensive as that of N-butyraldehyde. Industrial hydrogenation is mainly used to produce isobutanol. Isobutanol may be used as a substitute for n-butanol in some aspects. Hydroxytrimethyl acetaldehyde is formed by addition reaction of isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde, and then is hydrogenated to neopentyl glycol, which is used as the raw material of varnish, resin, fiber and lubricant; the fertilizer prepared by the reaction of isobutyraldehyde and urea can slowly release nitrogen; In addition, it is also used as an intermediate for amino acids, vitamins and other drugs. The Oxo-synthesis process produces both N-butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde in proportion, and the consumption balance is still such that isobutyraldehyde is oversupplied and a very large amount of isobutyraldehyde is used as a fuel. synthesis of pantothenic acid, valine, leucine, cellulose esters, fragrances, plasticizers, resins and gasoline additives. It is also used in the manufacture of vulcanization accelerators and antioxidants, isobutyric acid, etc. |

Isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde are added to form hydroxyl trimethylacetaldehyde, and then hydrogenated to form neopentyl glycol, which is used as a raw material for varnish, resin, fiber and lubricant; the fertilizer prepared by the reaction of isobutyraldehyde and urea can slowly Release nitrogen; in addition, it is also used as an intermediate for amino acids, vitamins and other drugs. The carbonyl synthesis method obtains n-butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde at the same time in proportion. The consumption balance is still that the supply of isobutyraldehyde exceeds the demand, and a very large amount of isobutyraldehyde is used as fuel. |
