Feedstock for Isobutyraldehyde

The direct raw materials utilized to produce Isobutyraldehyde are methanol and n-propyl alcohol. Thus, the fluctuations in the costs and availability of the major feedstock directly impact the overall supply chain of Isobutyraldehyde.

Various factors affect the pricing and procurement of methanol. The demand for methanol across various downstream industries, such as automotive, construction, electronics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and water treatment, influences its pricing. Supply constraints caused by plant shutdowns and disruptions in global supply chains, mainly from major methanol-producing regions, such as Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, contribute to the volatility of methanol prices. Additionally, fluctuations in the prices of essential raw materials, such as natural gas, further lead to surges or declines in methanol prices.

Another major raw material for the production process is n-propyl alcohol or n-Propanol. The demand for n-Propanol in various downstream industries, such as construction and solvents, affects its pricing. Furthermore, changes in the prices of key feedstocks such as propylene, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen also influence the supply chain for n-Propanol.
 

Market Drivers for Isobutyraldehyde

The market demand for Isobutyraldehyde is majorly driven by its application in various downstream industries and sectors such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food and fragrances, agrochemical, lubricants and sealants, adhesives and coatings, etc. Its utilization as an important intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds elevates its demand in the pharmaceutical industry.

The process starts with the reaction of methanol and n-propyl alcohol in the presence of titanium oxide-supported vanadium oxide catalysts. The reaction results in the production of Isobutyraldehyde as the final product in one step.
 

Properties of Isobutyraldehyde

Isobutyraldehyde, also known as 2-methylpropanal, is a derivative of propanal (propanaldehyde) with a methyl group at the second carbon. Its molecular formula is C4H8O, and it has a molecular weight of 72.11 g/mol. It is a member of the propanal family. It is classified as a 2-methyl-branched fatty aldehyde. Isobutyraldehyde is produced via the oxidation of isobutanol or by propylene hydroformylation. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is less dense than water, allowing it to float on the surface. Its vapors are heavier than air, and it has a moderate solubility of 6.7 g/100ml in water at 20°C. It is soluble in alcohol and ether. Isobutyraldehyde is flammable, with a density of 0.8 g/cm³. Its boiling point is in the range of 63-64°C, its melting point is -65°C. It has a flash point of -24°C. It has an autoignition temperature of 196.11°C. Due to its flammability and toxicity, isobutyraldehyde is classified as a hazardous chemical that must be handled with care.
