Butyraldehyde

Butyraldehyde, otherwise known as butylamine, is an organic amine with the chemical formula C4H8O. This organic chemical is the common aldehyde derivative of butanol. It has a very sweet taste and smell and is quite volatile. It's volatile so it evaporates quickly and easily when mixed with water. This compound is also the volatile aqueous derivative of butane, which is also called hydroxybutane and is produced through the oxidation of butane. It's a very sweet-smelling flammable liquid, which is miscible with many organic solvents, and it's used for things such as embossing, inks, dyes, and pigments, as well as being used in the production of paper and textile products.

The chemical composition of butyraldehyde is identical to that of butylamine which is a flammable liquid and is used in the chemical reaction for the synthesis of phenethylamine. It is produced as a byproduct of hydrolysis (breaks down of a molecule into simpler compounds) of butanediol, which is a hydrogenated version of dimethyl ether that is used in the synthesis of medications and chemicals.

It is produced in the bowel, liver, and pancreas and is therefore manufactured as a dietary supplement and/or as part of a detoxifying program. It may also be sold under the trade name of "Bodmin" and "Butisol". The cause of toxicity is usually two-fold. First, it can cause an allergic reaction (in some cases triggering anaphylactic shock), and secondly, its primary effect is to induce vomiting.

The most common side effects associated with Butyraldehyde are dizziness, a change in blood pressure, and a change in the heart rate. It may also cause a mild rash or hives, although it usually only affects the skin and/or mucous membranes (not the eyes). More severe reactions may occur if Butyraldehyde is taken in combination with other chemicals such as hydrazine sulfate, lactic acid, caffeine, and other drugs.
