General description

Rate coefficients for the reaction of crotonaldehyde with chlorine atoms have been determined[1]. Reaction of crotonaldehyde with DNA has been investigated[2].

Application

  • Crotonaldehyde (Cis and Trans): Discusses the production and properties of crotonaldehyde, including trans isomer, via aldol condensation of acetaldehyde and catalytic methods (Grant & Jenkins, 2015).
  • Modeling, simulation and analysis of a process for the production of crotonaldehyde: Analyzes the production of crotonaldehyde, highlighting the stereoisomeric forms, including trans-crotonaldehyde (Scheithauer et al., 2016).

Questions

  1. What does "predominantly trans" mean for product 262668? Is there any guidance available on the amount of trans compared to cis?

    1 answer
    1. In this case, the term "predominantly trans" is not specifically defined, but based on analysis of previous lots, it appears to be between 95% and 98% trans. While this cannot be guaranteed for future lots, historical data suggests this range. It could be a helpful estimation to consider.
