Overheating aldehyde

Rags soaked in sodium hydroxide and in the aldehyde overheated and ignited owing to aerobic oxidation when they came into contact in a waste bin. 

As noted already, the reactions of oc,(3-unsaturated ketones with or /zo-diamines are often accompanied by various rearrangements and side processes. For instance, the o-PDA condensation with chalcone in the presence of an acid catalyst or during overheating of the reaction mixture produces a final product of 2-phenylbenzimidazole [2, 7] a similar phenomenon is also observed for 2,3-diaminopyridine [54]. Owing to the existence of much more suitable approaches to the synthesis of 2-aryl derivatives of benzimidazole and their heteroannelated analogues (e.g., proceeding from diamines and acids or aldehydes [121]), such a trend in the interaction of chalcones with diamines is unlikely to have any application for this purpose. 

Every oil has a different smoke point—the temperature after which it is no longer healthy and begins to smoke. Some oils, such as flaxseed oil, have a very low smoke point and, as a result, should never be heated. Olive oil smokes at just under 325°F, while macadamia nut oil reaches its smoke point at around 4io°F, allowing you to cook with it at higher temperatures without destroying the health benefits of the oil (unless the oil has been overheated during manufacturing). When oils become rancid or overheated, the beneficial fatty acids break down into other compounds such as hydrocarbons, ketones, and aldehydes, all of which can raise the acidity of our bodies.
