General description

Rate coefficients for the reaction of crotonaldehyde with chlorine atoms have been determined. Reaction of crotonaldehyde with DNA has been investigated.

Application

  • Crotonaldehyde (Cis and Trans): Discusses the production and properties of crotonaldehyde, including trans isomer, via aldol condensation of acetaldehyde and catalytic methods (Grant & Jenkins, 2015).
  • Modeling, simulation and analysis of a process for the production of crotonaldehyde: Analyzes the production of crotonaldehyde, highlighting the stereoisomeric forms, including trans-crotonaldehyde (Scheithauer et al., 2016).

Crotonaldehyde is an environment pollutant and lipid peroxidation product. Crotonaldehyde produces adverse effects to humans and serves as a risk factor for human pulmonary diseases. Like acrolein and 4-hydroxynonenal, crotonaldehyde seems likely to alter many cell signaling cascades, including inflammatory

Humans are exposed to acrolein and crotonaldehyde due to environmental pollution and endogenous lipid peroxidation. These aldehydes react with the 2'-deoxyguanosine moiety of DNA, forming the exocyclic 1,N2-propano-2'-deoxyguanosine adducts AdG and CdG. These adducts are mutagenic lesions, and they play
