Pharmacological action

Isobutyraldehyde is a precursor for the synthesis of other chemicals,isobutyraldehyde can be readily converted to various hydrocarbons currently derived from petroleum,co-catalyst,an aldehyde, isomeric with n-butyraldehyde (butanal),its odour is described as that of wet cereal or straw,can also be produced using engineered bacteria,is produced industrially by the hydroformylation of propene,etc.
