Application | used in pharmaceutical industry, organic synthesis, etc. Triacetaldehyde is easily decomposed into acetaldehyde, it can be used as a stable form of acetaldehyde to facilitate the storage and transportation of acetaldehyde. About 50% of triacetaldehyde is used in the field of pesticides in Japan, followed by solvents and diluents for Xiangke, medicine and coatings. used as a solvent for determining molecular weight, also used in medicine and organic synthesis used as a solvent, and used in organic synthesis, rubber accelerator and antioxidant manufacturing applications: pesticides, spices, pharmaceuticals, solvents and diluents for coatings, rubber accelerators and antioxidant manufacturing, etc. |
production method | acetaldehyde can be polymerized during storage to form triacetaldehyde, tetramethylacetaldehyde, etc. In industrial production, inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid is used as catalyst to polymerize acetaldehyde. |
