Pharmacological action

Propionaldehyde is an organic compound,saturated 3-carbon aldehyde,a structural isomer of acetone,colorless liquid ,slightly irritating, fruity odor,

produced industrially through hydroformylation,etc.

It is principally used as a precursor to trimethylolethane (CH3C(CH2OH)3) through a condensation reaction with formaldehyde; this triol is an important

intermediate in the production of alkyd resins. Other applications include reduction to propanol and oxidation to propionic acid.It has the in vitro

inhibition of lipase activity.
