Propanal, also known as propanaldehyde, is a clear, colorless, or slightly light yellow liquid organic compound with a pungent odor. In IUPAC nomenclature, it is designated as propanal. This compound is highly soluble in ethanol and acetone and is also soluble in water. It is characterized by a sweet-sour, burnt odor.
Propanal is used as a raw material in pharmaceuticals and resins as well as a food additive for flavoring. It imparts aroma and flavor when added to processed foods.
Propanal has the chemical formulas C2H5CHO or CH3CH2CHO, with a molecular weight of 58.08. It can also polymerize to form peroxides.
Propanal consists of a cyclic tropane skeleton with an ester functional group. It generally exists in the form of a quaternary ammonium salt.
Propanal is produced via the Oxo process, involving the action of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas on ethylene gas in the presence of a metal catalyst such as cobalt or rhodium complexes. The Heck-Breslow mechanism is involved when using cobalt octacarbonyl as a catalyst.
Dehydrogenation of 1-propanol is another known method for synthesizing propanal, although 1-propanol is mostly made from propanal in modern processes.
Trimethylolethane is produced by the condensation of methanol and propanal. Condensation of tert-butylamine with propanal yields an imine, which can be used as a three-carbon building block in organic synthesis, especially after lithiation with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA).
