Description

2-Methylbutyraldehyde is a chemical compound that is used in the detection of hydrochloric acid and is formed by the reaction of methanal with an acid. It has a ph optimum of 2, which makes it useful for the detection of acidic compounds. The carbonyl group on the molecule can be detected using solid phase microextraction with hydrochloric acid as a reagent. 2-Methylbutyraldehyde reacts with catalytic rate to form acetaldehyde and hydrogen chloride. The formation of acetaldehyde is catalyzed by p-450 isozymes, while hydrogen chloride is produced from water and hydroxide ions. The reaction mechanism for this process occurs in a reaction vessel at constant temperature and pH.
