trans -Crotonaldehyde is an organic-chemical compound from the group of unsaturated aldehydes . It is a structural isomer of crotonaldehyde , and cis -crotonaldehyde , which is technically far less important, also exists.
Occurrence
In nature, crotonaldehyde occurs primarily in croton oil , which is made from the plants of the genus Croton .
Extraction and presentation
Trans- protonaldehyde is produced on an industrial scale by a base-catalyzed aldol reaction of acetaldehyde . This is first converted into 3-hydroxybutanal (acetaldol) in an aldol addition reaction at mild temperatures . This is followed by an aldol condensation reaction at elevated temperature and with acetic acid as a catalyst to form trans- protonaldehyde.
The product is worked up by multi-stage distillation .
properties
Crotonaldehyde is a highly flammable liquid with a pungent odor. The compound is only slightly soluble in water, but readily soluble in common organic solvents. In the presence of oxygen it tends to form peroxides and to auto-oxidize .
Biological importance
In the human body, crotonaldehyde is also produced from acetaldehyde . Polyamines , normally natural protective substances of the cell , facilitate the conversion of acetaldehyde into crotonaldehyde after drinking alcohol . This in turn is strongly suspected of changing the DNA and being responsible for the development of cancer .
use
The oxidation of crotonaldehyde provides crotonic acid . The reduction of crotonaldehyde yields crotyl alcohol .
