Isobutyraldehyde

CAS：78-84-2

Molecular formula：C4H8O

Molecular weight：72.11

Structure：

Physicochemical properties: n-butyraldehyde is a colorless transparent liquid with asphyxiating smell. Solubility: slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether and other organic solvents. It can be used in organic synthesis and is also a raw material for making spices.

Product application: isobutyraldehyde is not as widely used as n-butyraldehyde. In industry, isobutanol is mainly produced by hydrogenation. Isobutanol can be used as a substitute for n-butanol in some aspects. Isobutyraldehyde reacts with formaldehyde to produce hydroxytrimethylacetaldehyde, and then hydrogenates to produce neopentyl glycol, which is used as 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 of drugs such as amino acids and vitamins. N-butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde are simultaneously obtained by carbonyl synthesis in proportion. The consumption balance is still that isobutyraldehyde is oversupplied, and a very large amount of isobutyraldehyde is used as fuel.
