Crotonaldehyde trans

Ref. 3D-FC178034

Product Information

• Name: Crotonaldehyde trans
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Crotonaldehyde trans is a kinetic energy donor in the hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde. It has been shown to be selective for crotonaldehyde, with a reaction mechanism involving the formation of an intermediate hydrogenated product that then decomposes to form the desired product. The catalyst for this reaction is copper and it has been shown to be stable under various conditions, including high temperatures and pH levels. The selectivity of crotonaldehyde trans is due to steric interactions between the methyl ethyl groups on the molecule and the catalyst.
