2-Methyl-2-pentenal (CAS: 107-83-5), also known as 3-Ethyl-2-methylacrolein, is a reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde used primarily in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C6H10O, produced via aldol condensation and dehydration processes.
Requires storage under inert atmosphere at controlled temperatures to prevent polymerization. Strict respiratory protection and explosion-proof equipment are mandatory due to high flammability and potential toxicity upon inhalation.
