Propionaldehyde exhibits the reactions characteristic of alkyl aldehydes, e.g. hydrogenation, aldol condensations, oxidations, etc. It is the simplest aldehyde with a prochiral methylene such that α-functionalized derivatives (CH 3 CH(X)CHO) are chiral. If water is available, propionaldehyde exists in equilibrium with 1,1-propanediol, a ...

Reuterin (3-hydroxypropionaldehyde) is the organic compound with the formula HOCH 2 CH 2 CHO. It is a bifunctional molecule, containing both a hydroxy and aldehyde functional groups.
In the context of butanol fuel, isobutyraldehyde is of interest as a precursor to isobutanol. E. coli as well as several other organisms has been genetically modified to produce isobutanol. α-Ketoisovalerate, derived from oxidative deamination of valine, is prone to decarboxylation to give isobutyraldehyde, which is susceptible to reduction to the alcohol: [3]
Industrial route to propionic anhydride involves thermal dehydration of propionic acid, driving off the water by distillation: . 2 CH 3 CH 2 CO 2 H → (CH 3 CH 2 CO) 2 O + H 2 O ...
Piperonal can be prepared by the oxidative cleavage of isosafrole or by using a multistep sequence from catechol or 1,2-methylenedioxybenzene.Synthesis from the latter chemical is accomplished through a condensation reaction with glyoxylic acid followed by cleaving the resulting α-hydroxy acid with an oxidizing agent.
