Crotonic acid Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Crotonic acid is a white to light yellow crystalline flakes with a pungent odor. It is moderately soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.

Uses

trans-Crotonic acid is used in the copolymerization of crotonic acid hydrogel systems by using gamma-rays. The crosslinked copolymeric crotonic acid hydrogels release fertilizers and drugs that help to prevent environmental pollution.

Preparation

(E)-2-Butenoic acid may be formed by oxidation of crotonaldehyde, 2-butenal. If (Z)-butenoic acid is heated at 180°C, it is converted to (E)-2-butenoid acid.

Definition

ChEBI: Crotonic acid is a but-2-enoic acid with a trans- double bond at C-2. It has been isolated from Daucus carota. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a crotonate.

Application

Crotonic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid containing a double bond and a carboxyl group in its molecular structure, rendering it highly reactive. It serves various industrial applications, primarily in the preparation of resins, fungicides, surface coatings, plasticisers, and pharmaceuticals.

General Description

Crotonic acid undergoes esterification with butan-2-ol by following second order reaction kinetics.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

storage

Store at RT

Purification Methods

Distil the acid under reduced pressure and/or recrystallise it from pet ether (b 60-80o) or water, or by partial freezing of the melt. [Beilstein 2 IV 1498.]
