butyraldehyde usage and synthesis

chemical properties	colourless liquid with a very unpleasant smell
general description	a clear liquid with a pungent odor. flash point 20°f. boiling point 75.7°f (hawley's). less dense than water and insoluble in water. vapors heavier than air.
air & water reactions	highly flammable. insoluble in water.
reactivity profile	a colorless liquid, butyraldehyde can react with oxidizing materials. in contact with strong acids or bases butyraldehyde will undergo an exothermic condensation reaction. the dry aldehyde may undergo some polymerization reaction. reacts vigorously with chlorosulfonic acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid (oleum). [sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 607].
health hazard	inhalation will cause irritation and possibly nausea, vomiting, headache, and loss of consciousness. contact with eyes causes burns. skin contact may be irritating.
fire hazard	behavior in fire: vapors are heavier than air and may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. fires are difficult to control due to ease of reignition.
