Acrolein, H2C=CHCHO

Partial oxidation of propylene results in acrolein, H2C=CHCHO, an important intermediate for acrylic acid, H2C=CHCOOH, or in the presence of NH3, in acrylonitrile, H2C=CHCN, the monomer for acrylic fibers. Mixed metal oxides are used as the catalysts [B.C. Gates, Catalytic Chemistry (1992), Wiley, New York]. [Pg.372]

The acrolein, H2C=CHCHO is epoxidised much more readily with a basic solution of H2O2 than with a peroxyacid ... [Pg.224]

While the direct carbonylation of ethylene to acrolein H2C=CHCHO is mildly endothermic, it becomes exothermic on addition of triethylorthoformate ... [Pg.1263]
