Butyraldehyde is widely found in various cosmetic products used worldwide
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.
