Chemical compound
Crotonic acid ((2E )-but-2-enoic acid ) is a short-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid described by the formula CH3 CH=CHCO2 H. The name crotonic acid was given because it was erroneously thought to be a saponification product of croton oil .[ 2] It crystallizes as colorless needles from hot water. With a cis -alkene , Isocrotonic acid is an isomer of crotonic acid. Crotonic acid is soluble in water and many organic solvents. Its odor is similar to that of butyric acid .
Use
Crotonic acid is mainly used as a comonomer with vinyl acetate.[ 14] The resulting copolymers are used in paints and adhesives .[ 4]
Crotonyl chloride reacts with N -ethyl-2-methylaniline (N -ethyl-o -toluidine) to provide crotamiton , which is used as an agent against scabies .[ 15]
Crotamiton synthesis
Safety
Its LD50 is 1 g/kg (oral, rats).[ 4] It irritates eyes, skin, and respiratory system.[ 14]
