Description

Crotonyl alcohol is an isomerizing agent that can be used in the synthesis of hydroxyapatite. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Crotonyl alcohol has been shown to react with polycarboxylic acids such as oxalic acid to produce dihydrooxalic acid, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of hydroxyapatite. The reaction mechanism of crotonyl alcohol is unknown, but it has been proposed that this reaction proceeds through a dehydrative process whereby one water molecule is eliminated to form the carboxyl group and the other water molecule reacts with the hydroxyl group to form hydrogen peroxide. The kinetic data obtained from experiments on crotonyl alcohol demonstrate that its activation energies are lower than those for other types of reactions and that its rate-determining step occurs at a lower temperature than other reactions. This suggests that crotonyl alcohol may have an unusual reaction mechanism, which could be due
