Diacetyl (/ d aɪ j ə ˈ s iː t ə l / dy-yuh-SEE-tuhl; IUPAC systematic name: butanedione or butane-2,3-dione) is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3 CO) 2. It is a yellow liquid with an intensely buttery flavor. It is a vicinal diketone (two C=O groups, side-by-side).
1,1-Diethoxyethane (acetaldehyde diethyl acetal) is a major flavoring component of distilled beverages, especially malt whisky [3] and sherry. [4] Although it is just one of many compounds containing an acetal functional group, this specific chemical is sometimes called simply acetal .
Smoking: For smokers, cigarette smoking is the main source of exposure to benzene. Estimates are 7900 μg per day (smoking 20 cigarettes per day), [10] 1820 μg/day, and 1800 μg/day. [9] Passive smoking: Benzene intake from passive smoking is estimated at 63 μg/day (Canada) and 50 μg/day. [9] Diet and drinking water: 0.2 to 3.1 μg per day. [9]
Isovaleraldehyde organic compound, also known as 3-methylbutanal, with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CHO. It is an aldehyde, a colorless liquid at STP, [1] and found in low concentrations in many types of food. [2] Commercially it is used as a reagent for the production of pharmaceuticals, perfumes and pesticides. [3]
This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
Drinking sugary soda regularly may increase the risk of cancer, as obesity is a known risk factor for various types of cancer. Additionally, the caramel coloring used in some sodas contains a ...
The living room had a mean of 18.1±17.5 μg m −3 and the bedroom was 18.2±16.9 μg m −3, whereas the outdoor air had a mean concentration of 2.3±2.6 μg m −3. [ citation needed ] It has been concluded that volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, toluene, and xylenes have to be considered priority ...
Hydrogenation of 3-hydroxybutanal gives 1,3-butanediol: CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CHO + H 2 → CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CH 2 OH. This diol is a precursor to 1,3-butadiene, precursor to diverse polymers. Polymerization of 3-hydroxybutanal is also spontaneous, but can be stopped with the addition of water. Aldol has been used in making perfumes and in ore ...
