Acrolein (English spelling)

Japanese: アクロレイン(英語表記)acrolein
Acrolein (English spelling)
Also known as acrylaldehyde and probenal. Chemical formula: CH 2 =CHCHO. It exhibits both olefin and aldehyde properties and polymerizes easily. Industrially, it is produced by air oxidation of propylene using copper oxide as a catalyst, but traditionally, it has also been produced using glycerin, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde as raw materials. Melting point: -87°C, boiling point: 52°C. Soluble in water. If left for a long period of time, it will polymerize and produce a resinous substance. When stored, a small amount of polyphenols are added as an antioxidant. When reduced, it becomes propionaldehyde and then propyl alcohol. The odor of burning fat is due to the presence of acrolein. An intermediate in the production of acrylic acid esters, a raw material for synthetic resins. It is also used in the synthesis of methionine, a liver tonic.

Japanese:
アクリルアルデヒド,プロベナールともいう。化学式 CH2=CHCHO 。オレフィンの性質とアルデヒドの性質の両方を示し,容易に重合する。工業的には,酸化銅触媒によるプロピレンの空気酸化によって製造されるが,従来はグリセリンやアセトアルデヒドとホルムアルデヒドを原料とする方法も行われた。融点-87℃,沸点 52℃。水に可溶。長期間放置すると重合し,樹脂状物質を生じる。保存に際しては抗酸化剤として少量のポリフェノール類を加える。還元するとプロピオンアルデヒドを経て,プロピルアルコールになる。脂肪の焼けるときの臭気はアクロレインの存在による。合成樹脂原料のアクリル酸エステル製造の中間体。強肝剤のメチオニンの合成にも使用される。
