Crotonaldehyde appears as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong and suffocating odor. It is also known as 2-Butenal and 3-Methylacrolein. At room temperature it is extremely flammable and produces toxic vapors. Crotonaldehyde can be found naturally in emissions of specific vegetation and volcanoes and also many in foods in small amounts. Commercially crotonaldehyde is produced by aldol condensation from acetaldehyde. It has poor solubility in water. But it is easily soluble in organic solvents including alcohols and ether. Crotonaldehyde is mostly used in the manufacture of crotonic acid and sorbic acid by oxidation.
Crotonaldehyde is an excellent solvent for numerous mineral and vegetable oils, waxes, fats, natural and synthetic resins and for elementary sulphur. It is also used to detect gas leaks in pipes. Owing to solid bond within C-4 chain and bi-functional group of aldehyde, crotonaldehyde is effectually used as a starting product in many organic reactions and synthesis.
Crotonaldehyde Market Taxonomy
On the basis of end-use industry, the global crotonaldehyde market is classified into:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Rubber
- Chemicals
- Leather
- Agriculture
Crotonaldehyde is majorly used as a precursor to fine chemicals. Crotonaldehyde is also used in the production of quinaldines, thiophenes, pharmaceuticals, pyridines, dyes and pesticides. Crotonaldehyde has application in the production of crotonic acid and is used as a flow-promoting agent and comonomer for alkyd resins. Crotonaldehyde is used as a warming agent in fuel gases and in organic synthesis as a solvent. In the agricultural industry, it is used for crop protection and when reacted with urea forms crotonylidene ureas— a slow-release fertilizer.
Wide array of applications in the chemicals and pharmaceutical industry is fueling the growth of crotonaldehyde market, especially in Asia Pacific and Middle East regions. Product innovation and expansion in various geographies is a key strategy adopted by the major players in the crotonaldehyde market. In June 2017, announced a Clenases Corporation announced a joint venture (JV) between Celanese’s Cellulose Derivatives and Blackstone’s Rhodia Acetow businesses. This was intended for the creation of a global acetate tow supplier coupled with improved service to customers and more opportunities for productivity and innovation. Celanese and Blackstone will own 70% and 30% of the Joint venture, respectively. Some of the major companies operating in the global crotonaldehyde market include Finetech Industry Limited, Alfa Aesar, Sigma-Aldrich, GODAVARI BIOREFINERIES LTD., Tokyo Chemical Industry, Nantong Acetic Acid Chemical Co., Ltd., Ambinter, abcr GmbH, Celanese Corporation, Chemhere, Amadis Chemicals, MolCore, Haihang Industry Co., Ltd. and Vitas-M Laboratory.
