  2. Butyraldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyraldehyde

    Butyraldehyde, also known as butanal, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 2 CHO. This compound is the aldehyde derivative of butane . It is a colorless flammable liquid with an unpleasant smell.

  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

    He found it quite remarkable that when paraldehyde was heated with a trace of the same acid, the reaction went the other way, recreating acetaldehyde. [ 38 ] Although vinyl alcohol is a polymeric form of acetaldehyde ( § Tautomerization to vinyl alcohol ), polyvinyl alcohol cannot be produced from acetaldehyde.

  7. γ-Hydroxybutyraldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Γ-hydroxybutyraldehyde

    It is a chemical intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) from 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD). [2] Like 1,4-BD, it also behaves as a prodrug to GHB when taken exogenously.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
