  • Toxicity Summary: IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Crotonaldehyde is a water-white, mobile liquid. Crotonaldehyde was formerly used in the manufacture of n-butanol, but currently, the most extensive use of crotonaldehyde is in the manufacture of sorbic acid. Crotonaldehyde has also been used as a warning agent in fuel gases, in the preparation of rubber accelerators, in leather tanning, as an alcohol denaturant, and as a stabilizer for tetraethyl-lead. HUMAN STUDIES: A 15-minute exposure to crotonaldehyde at 4.1 ppm was highly irritating to the nose and upper respiratory tract and produced lacrimation in human volunteers in 30 seconds. Crotonaldehyde is highly toxic by the dermal route. Direct contact with liquid crotonaldehyde causes rapid and severe eye and skin irritation or burns. Exposure to vapor produces inflammation of mucous membranes. Clinical cases of sensitization have occurred. Crotonaldehyde vapors may produce pulmonary edema at high concentrations. Crotonaldehyde, a mutagen and carcinogen, reacts with deoxyguanosine (dGuo) in DNA to generate a pair of diastereomeric adducts (Cro-dGuo). Cro-dGuo adducts inhibit DNA synthesis and induce miscoding in human cells. DNA from human liver, lung, and b Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Toxicity Summary: IDENTIFICATION AND USE: (E)-Crotonaldehyde is a liquid. It is used in the manufacture of butyl alcohol, butyraldehyde, methoxybutyraldehyde, sorbic acid, maleic acid, crotonic acid, crotyl alcohol. In polymer chemistry, it is used in the manufacture of resins and polyvinyl acetals, as a solvent for polyvinyl chloride, as a rubber antioxidant, and it increases rubber strength with ketones. It is also used in preparation of insecticides and fertilizers, and in production of flavors. HUMAN STUDIES: (E)-Crotonaldehyde is a lacrymating material that is very dangerous to the eyes. It is a human skin and respiratory system irritant. Individuals with chronic respiratory disease, impaired pulmonary function, obstructive airway diseases, or skin disease may be at an increased risk from exposure to crotonaldehyde. ANIMAL STUDIES: Reported LD50 ranged from 140 mg/kg in rabbit to 1331 mg/kg in guinea pig, and LC50 for inhalation in rat was 4000 mg/cu m per 30 min exposure.

  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 2(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that crotonaldehyde is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of crotonaldehyde from moist soil surfaces is expected(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), based upon its vapor pressure, 30 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 1.81X10+5 mg/L(4). Crotonaldehyde is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(3). A 73% of Theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test(5) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 2(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that crotonaldehyde is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 30 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 1.81X10+5 mg/L(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 2.1 and 18 days, respectively(SRC). Crotonaldehyde is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 0.60(2) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. The half-lives for olefinic structures (similar to crotonaldehyde) in sunlit natural waters are about 13 and 8 days with respect to reaction via hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen(7). Crotonaldehyde was observed to hav Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), crotonaldehyde, which has a vapor pressure of 30 mm Hg at 20 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase crotonaldehyde is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 11 hours(SRC), calculated from an experimental rate constant for trans-crotonaldehyde of 3.6X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec(3) and an estimated rate constant for cis-crotonaldehyde of 3.6X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(4). The atmospheric reaction half-life of crotonaldehyde with ozone is estimated to be 6.3 and 12 days for the trans- and cis-isomers, respectively, based on estimated reaction rates of 1.8X10-18 and 9.1X10-19 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC), derived using a structure estimation method(4), and an atmospheric concentration of 7X10+11 ozone molecules per cu cm(5). Crotonaldehyde absorbs at wavelengths >290 nm(6) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 2(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that (E)-crotonaldehyde is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of (E)-crotonaldehyde from moist soil surfaces is expected(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 1.94X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(3). (E)-Crotonaldehyde is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 38 mm Hg at 25 °C(4). A 73% of Theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test(5) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). Other biodegradation studies suggest that (E)-crotonaldehyde may be biodegradable in soil(6), especially in anaerobic conditions(7,8). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
