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 hyd...
