?Butanal(123-72-8) is also named as 1-Butanal ; 4-01-00-03229 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) ; AI3-24198 ; Aldehyde butyrique ; Aldehyde butyrique [French] ; Aldeide butirrica ; Aldeide butirrica [Italian] ; BRN 0506061 ; Butal ; Butaldehyde ; Butalyde ; Butanaldehyde ; Butylaldehyde ; Butyral ; Butyraldehyd ; Butyraldehyd [German] ; Butyraldehyde ; Butyric dehyde ; CCRIS 3221 ; FEMA Number 2219 ; HSDB 2798 ; NCI-C56291 ; NSC 62779 ; UNII-H21352682A ; n-Butyraldehyde .?Butanal is colourless liquid with a very unpleasant smell.?It is highly flammable and insoluble in water.?Butanal can react with oxidizing materials. In contact with strong acids or bases?Butanal will undergo an exothermic condensation reaction. The dry aldehyde may undergo some polymerization reaction. Reacts vigorously with chlorosulfonic acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid (oleum). Inhalation will cause irritation and possibly nausea, vomiting, headache, and loss of consciousness. Contact with eyes causes burns. Skin contact may be irritating. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Fires are difficult to control due to ease of reignition.
