Acrolein

Description:
Acrolein, with the CAS number 107-02-8, is an unsaturated aldehyde characterized by its pungent odor and colorless appearance. It has a molecular formula of C3H4O and is known for its highly reactive nature due to the presence of both a double bond and an aldehyde functional group. Acrolein is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, and it is primarily used in the production of acrylic acid and other chemicals. It is also utilized as a biocide and in the synthesis of various polymers. Due to its reactivity, acrolein can undergo polymerization and addition reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. However, it is important to note that acrolein is toxic and can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures in industrial and laboratory settings. Its volatility and potential environmental impact also require consideration in its use and disposal.
