 |  | TRANS-2-METHYL-2-BUTENAL Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Description | 2-Methyl-2-butenal has a penetrating, powerful green ethereal
odor. May be prepared by condensation of acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde. |  | Chemical Properties | clear colorless to yellow liquid |  | Uses | Tiglic aldehyde was used in the concise total synthesis of 7-demethylpiericidin A1. It was used as starting reagent during the synthesis of:
 - alkyl-branched tetraene hydrocarbons, pheromone component for dried fruit beetle
 - E,E-2,4-dimethyl-2,4-hexa dienal, volatile constituents of the defensive secretions of Leiobunum nigripalpi 
 - 4-methyl-2,4-hexadiene-1-ol
 
  |  | General Description | trans-2-Methyl-2-butenal is one of the major volatile constituents of coriander and olive oil. |
