Description

Myracaldehyde is an aldehyde that has been used as a cross-linking agent in the production of polyurethanes. It is a colorless liquid with an aromatic odor and a melting point of -17 °C. Myracaldehyde can be obtained by the hydrochloric acid oxidation of myrcene. The reaction begins with the formation of an alkoxide, which reacts with HCl to form an acyl chloride. This acyl chloride is then heated to produce myracaldehyde, which can be purified using calcium stearate and solid catalyst. Myracaldehyde has been shown to react with radiation to form polymers that have different properties than those formed without radiation. The mechanism for this reaction involves oxidative carbonylation, where oxygen radicals are generated from the polymerization process and react with myracaldehyde to create new bonds in the polymer chain.
