Product Overview
Propionaldehyde is a clear, colorless liquid aldehyde with a pungent odor, widely used in laboratory settings for organic synthesis and chemical reactions. Its high purity ensures reliable results in experiments requiring precise aldehyde reactivity. This compound is highly soluble in organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. With a boiling point of approximately 48°C, it must be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area to maintain stability. The laboratory-grade purity minimizes impurities, ensuring consistency in experimental outcomes. Propionaldehyde is reactive with oxidizing agents and should be handled with care to avoid decomposition. Its low molecular weight and high volatility make it suitable for gas-phase reactions. For best results, use in a fume hood to prevent exposure to vapors. This product is packaged in a sealed container to preserve quality during storage and transport.
