Constituent 1
Results and discussion
- Results:
- Any alkaline or acidic impurity may cause dangerously exothermic condensation reactions of the crotonaldehyde and therefore must be
thoroughly excluded. Oxygen or other strong oxidizers and light may form crotonic acid and peroxides, which could induce exothermic
polymerization.
Alcohols or thiols can be added to the olefinic double bond with a basic catalyst. Crotonaldehyde acts as a dienophile in Diels – Alder reactions.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Avoid alkaline or acidic impurities, oxygen or other strong oxidizers and light, which could induce exothermic reactions.
- Executive summary:
Avoid alkaline or acidic impurities, oxygen or other strong oxidizers and light, which could induce exothermic reactions.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
