Crotonaldehyde by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Crotoinic aldehyde, this is an unsaturated aldehyde. The reagent is available as a colourless liquid which is poorly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 76.5 C and a boiling point of 104.0 C. Crotonaldehyde can be generated by the aldol condensation of acetaldehyde. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 123-73-9 Quantity Provided: 500 ml per bottle Molecular formula: C4H6O Molecular weight: 70.09 Assay: 99 %Crotonaldehyde has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. Crotonaldehyde has been used as a precursor to manufacture Sorbic acid, a food preservative, and trimethylhydroquinone, a precursor to the vitamin E. It is additionally an excellent prochiral dienophile. Kethoxal can be obtained from the reaction of Crotonaldehyde with ethanol. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
