Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Auto-ignition temperature of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde : 255±5°C
Executive summary:

The Auto-ignition temperature of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde was determined in a SUR BERLIN oven, equipped with a 250 ml glass ignition vessel according to the DIN 51794.
The lowest temperature giving a positive effect was 259°C. The injected volume was 100 μI, the ignition delay was 25 s. At a temperature of 254°C no ignition was
observed.


Therefore, after rounding-off to the next-lower multiple of 5°C:
Auto-ignition temperature of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde : 255±5°C
