OtherCpds=Butan-1-ol Butyric acid Butyraldehyde, also known as butanal, is an
organic compound that is thealdehyde analog ofbutane as well as an isomer ofbutanone . It is a colorless flammable liquid with an acrid smell. It is miscible with most organic solvents.It can be produced by catalytic
dehydrogenation of "n"-butanol, catalytichydrogenation ofcrotonaldehyde , or via thehydroformylation ofpropylene .Upon exposure to air, it is oxidized to form
butyric acid .References
