| Summary: | trans-Crotonaldehyde, CASRN 123-73-9, is an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde with defined stereochemistry (WHO, 2008). The commercial product crotonaldehyde is represented by CASRN 4170-30-3 and consists of >95% trans-isomer (CASRN 123-73-9). cis-Crotonaldehyde is represented by CASRN 15798-64-8. trans-Crotonaldehyde is primarily used in chemical manufacturing as a precursor, intermediate, or solvent (WHO, 2008; HSDB, 2005). It is synthesized by aldol condensation of acetaldehyde and a dehydration step (HSDB, 2005). Commercial crotonaldehyde and trans-crotonaldehyde are both listed on the U.S. EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) public inventory (U.S. EPA, 2018b), and crotonaldehyde is registered with Europe's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) program (ECHA, 2018) |
