- Description
-
Butanal is an aldehyde with a four-carbon atom structure. Since the aldehyde group can only go on the terminal carbon atoms, there are only two strutural isomers of butanal, which are Butyraldehyde (1-butanal) and 2-methylpropanal (isobutyraldehyde).
Both products are produced industrially by the hydroformylation of propene.
