Crotonaldehyde is a chemical compound with the formula CH3CH=CHCHO. Symbolism The four divisions are typically color-coded with blue indicating level of Health Hazard, red indicating R-phrases (short for Risk Phrases) are defined in Annex III of European Union Directive 67/548/EEC: Nature of special risks attributed to dangerous S-phrases are defined in Annex IV of European Union Directive 67/548/EEC: Safety advice concerning dangerous substances and preparations. In Chemistry, the standard state of a material is its state at 1 bar (100 Kilopascals exactly A chemical compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed proportion by Mass. A chemical formula is a way of expressing information about the Atoms that constitute a particular Chemical compound, and how the relationship between those atoms changes The compound is usually sold as a mixture of the E- and Z-isomers, which differ with respect to the relative position of the methyl and formyl groups. In Chemistry, a methyl group is a Hydrophobic Alkyl Functional group named after Methane (4 An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal Carbonyl group. The E-isomer is more common (data given in Table is for the E-isomer). This lachrymatory liquid is moderately soluble in water and miscible in organic solvents. A lachrymatory agent or lachrymator (from lacrima meaning "a tear " in Latin) (commonly referred to as tear gas) is a As an unsaturated aldehyde, crotonaldehyde is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Organic synthesis is a special branch of Chemical synthesis and is concerned with the construction of Organic compounds via Organic reactions Organic It occurs in a variety of foodstuffs, e. g. soybean oils.

Crotonaldehyde is produced by the aldol condensation of acetaldehyde:
Its main application is as a precursor to fine chemicals. An Aldol condensation is an Organic reaction in which an Enolate ion reacts with a Carbonyl compound to form a β-hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone followed Acetaldehyde, sometimes known as ethanal, is an organic chemical compound with the formula C[[Hydrogen H]]3CH O or MeCHO Sorbic acid, a food preservative, and trimethylhydroquinone, a precursor to the vitamin E, are prepared from crotonaldehyde. Sometimes confused with Ascorbic acid, Vitamin C. Sorbic acid, or 24-hexadienoic acid is a natural Organic compound Other derivatives include crotonic acid and 3-methoxybutanol. [1]
Crotonaldehyde is a multifunctional molecule that exhibits diverse reactivity. It is an excellent prochiral dienophile. In Chemistry, prochiral molecules can be converted from achiral to chiral in a single step [2] It is a Michael acceptor. The Michael reaction or Michael addition is the Nucleophilic addition of a Carbanion to an alpha beta unsaturated carbonyl compound. Addition of methylmagnesium chloride affords 3-penten-2-ol. Methylmagnesium chloride is a commercially available Grignard reagent. [3]
Crotonaldehyde is an irritant. It is listed as an "extremely hazardous substance" as defined by the U. This is a list of Extremely Hazardous Substances as defined by Section 302 of the U S. Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 is a United States federal law passed by the 99th United States Congress located at Title 40 Chapter It occurs widely in nature.
