  2. Butyraldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyraldehyde

    Butyraldehyde is produced almost exclusively by the hydroformylation of propylene: CH 3 CH=CH 2 + H 2 + CO → CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CHO. Traditionally, hydroformylation was catalyzed by cobalt carbonyl but rhodium complexes are more common. The dominant technology involves the use of rhodium catalysts derived from the water-soluble ligand tppts. An ...

  3. Butyric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyric_acid

    In industry, butyric acid is produced by hydroformylation from propene and syngas, forming butyraldehyde, which is oxidised to the final product. [7] H 2 + CO + CH 3 CH=CH 2 → CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CHO butyric acid. It can be separated from aqueous solutions by saturation with salts such as calcium chloride.

  4. Isobutyraldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobutyraldehyde

    It is an aldehyde, isomeric with n-butyraldehyde (butanal). [1] Isobutyraldehyde is made, often as a side-product, by the hydroformylation of propene. Its odour is described as that of wet cereal or straw. It undergoes the Cannizaro reaction even though it has alpha hydrogen atom. It is a colorless volatile liquid.

  5. 1-Butanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Butanol

    Since the 1950s, most 1-butanol is produced by the hydroformylation of propene (oxo process) to preferentially form the butyraldehyde n-butanal. Typical catalysts are based on cobalt and rhodium. Butyraldehyde is then hydrogenated to produce butanol. A second method for producing butanol involves the Reppe reaction of propylene with CO and ...

  6. Acetaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetaldehyde

    Demand has been impacted by changes in the production of plasticizer alcohols, which has shifted because n-butyraldehyde is less often produced from acetaldehyde, instead being generated by hydroformylation of propylene. Likewise, acetic acid, once produced from acetaldehyde, is made predominantly by the lower-cost methanol carbonylation ...

  7. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

  8. Butyrate fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyrate_fermentation

    Subsequently, ATP is produced in the last step of the fermentation. Three molecules of ATP are produced for each glucose molecule, a relatively high yield. The balanced equation for this fermentation is C 6 H 12 O 6 → C 4 H 8 O 2 + 2CO 2 + 2H 2. Other pathways to butyrate include succinate reduction and crotonate disproportionation.

  9. Butyryl-CoA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyryl-CoA

    Butyryl-CoA (or butyryl-coenzyme A, butanoyl-CoA) is an organic coenzyme A-containing derivative of butyric acid. [1] It is a natural product found in many biological pathways, such as fatty acid metabolism (degradation and elongation), fermentation, and 4-aminobutanoate (GABA) degradation.
