ChEBI: An enal consisting of pent-2-ene having an oxo group at the 1-position | [Preparation]
By treating β-phenoxyacrolein with secondary amines, Grignard reagent and active methylene compounds; by heating
1-ethoxy-1,3-pentadiene with H3PO4 at 80°C; from cis- and trans-but-2-ene-1,4-diol and SOCl2, followed by treatment of the chloroalcohol
with methyl magnesium bromide and final oxidation with MnO2. | [Safety Profile]
Poison by intraperitoneal route. Mutation data reported. Whenheated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
