Propionaldehyde Market Segmented By application that is Fragrance intermediate and Chemical intermediate.
Propionaldehyde, formula- CH3CH2CHO, is also termed as propanal. It is an organic compound which is exclusively used as chemical intermediate in the manufacturing of propanol and propionic acid. Propionaldehyde is a structural isomer of acetone, have characteristic properties such as flammable nature, colourless, and a pungent-unpleasant odour, among others.
Generally, Propionaldehyde is manufactured through the hydroformylation reaction in which synthesis gas i.e. hydrogen and carbon monoxide are reacted with ethylene in presence metal catalyst, mainly Rhodium. Propionaldehyde is readily oxidized or reduced in presence of air that leads to numerous addition reactions.
Thus, special care has to be taken during the storage of Propionaldehyde. Propionaldehyde mainly finds application in the manufacturing of alkyd resins as it acts precursor in the formation of triol that further used in manufacturing of alkyd resins. Moreover, Propionaldehyde are used in several applications such as in organic synthesis, oxidation to propionic acid and reduction to propanol, among others.
