'''Acrolein''' (systematic name: '''propenal''') is the simplest [[Alpha-beta Unsaturated carbonyl compounds|unsaturated aldehyde]]. It is a colorless liquid with a foul and acrid aroma. The smell of burnt fat (as when [[cooking oil]] is heated to its [[smoke point]]) is caused by [[glycerol]] in the burning fat breaking down into acrolein. It is produced industrially from [[propene]] and mainly used as a [[biocide]] and a building block to other chemical compounds, such as the [[amino acid]] [[methionine]].

==History==
Acrolein was first named and characterized as an aldehyde by the Swedish chemist [[Jöns Jacob Berzelius]] in 1839. He had been working with it as a thermal degradation product of [[glycerol]], a material used in the manufacture of soap. The name is a contraction of 'acrid' (referring to its pungent smell) and 'oleum' (referring to its oil-like consistency). In the 20th century, acrolein became an important intermediate for the industrial production of [[acrylic acid]] and acrylic plastics.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Stevens | first1 = Jan F. | last2 = Maier | first2 = Claudia S. | date = Jan 2008 | title = Acrolein: Sources, metabolism, and biomolecular interactions relevant to human health and disease | pmid = 18203133 | journal = Mol Nutr Food Res| volume = 52 | issue = 1| pages = 7–25 | doi = 10.1002/mnfr.200700412 | pmc = 2423340 }}</ref>

==Production==
Acrolein is prepared industrially by oxidation of [[propene]]. The process uses air as the source of oxygen and requires [[metal oxide]]s as [[heterogeneous catalyst]]s:<ref name=Ullmann>{{Ullmann|author1=Dietrich Arntz |author2=Achim Fischer |author3=Mathias Höpp |author4=Sylvia Jacobi |author5=Jörg Sauer |author6=Takashi Ohara |author7=Takahisa Sato |author8=Noboru Shimizu |author9=Helmut Schwind |display-authors=3 |title=Acrolein and Methacrolein||year=2012|doi=10.1002/14356007.a01_149.pub2}}</ref>

:[[File: Acrolein from oxidation of propene.svg]]

About 500,000 tons of acrolein are produced in this way annually in North America, Europe, and Japan. Additionally, all [[acrylic acid]] is produced via the transient formation of acrolein.

[[Propane]] represents a promising but challenging feedstock for the synthesis of acrolein (and acrylic acid).The main challenge is in fact the overoxidation to this acid.

When [[glycerol]] (also called glycerin) is heated to 280&nbsp;°C, it decomposes into acrolein

:[[File:Acrolein from glycerol dehydration.svg]]

This route is attractive when glycerol is co-generated in the production of biodiesel from vegetable oils or animal fats. The dehydration of glycerol has been demonstrated but has not proven competitive with the route from [[petrochemical]]s.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Martin | first1 = Andreas | last2 = Armbruster | first2 = Udo | last3 = Atia | first3 = Hanan | year = 2012 | title = Recent developments in dehydration of glycerol toward acrolein over heteropolyacids | journal = European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology | volume = 114 | issue = 1| pages = 10–23 | doi = 10.1002/ejlt.201100047 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Abdullah |first1=Anas |last2=Zuhairi Abdullah |first2=Ahmad |last3=Ahmed |first3=Mukhtar |last4=Khan |first4=Junaid |last5=Shahadat |first5=Mohammad |last6=Umar |first6=Khalid |last7=Alim |first7=Md Abdul |date=March 2022 |title=A review on recent developments and progress in sustainable acrolein production through catalytic dehydration of bio-renewable glycerol |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0959652622005145 |journal=Journal of Cleaner Production |language=en |volume=341 |article-number=130876 |doi=10.1016/j.jclepro.2022.130876|bibcode=2022JCPro.34130876A |s2cid=246853148|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

===Niche or laboratory methods===
The original industrial route to acrolein, developed by Degussa, involves [[aldol condensation]] of [[formaldehyde]] and [[acetaldehyde]]:
:[[File:Acrolein from formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.svg]]
Acrolein may also be produced on lab scale by the action of [[potassium bisulfate]] on glycerol (glycerine).

==Reactions==
Acrolein is a relatively [[Electrophile|electrophilic]] compound and a reactive one, hence its high toxicity. It is a good [[Michael acceptor]], hence its useful reaction with thiols. It forms [[acetal]]s readily, a prominent one being the [[spirocycle]] derived from [[pentaerythritol]], diallylidene pentaerythritol. Acrolein participates in many [[Diels-Alder reaction]]s, even with itself. Via Diels-Alder reactions, it is a precursor to some commercial fragrances, including [[myrac aldehyde|myrac aldehyde ("lyral")]] and [[norbornene]]-2-carboxaldehyde.<ref name=Ullmann/> The monomer [[3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3',4'-epoxycyclohexane carboxylate]] is also produced from acrolein via the intermediacy of [[tetrahydrobenzaldehyde]].

==Uses==
===Military uses===
Acrolein was used in warfare due to its irritant and blistering properties. The French used the chemical in their hand grenades and artillery shells<ref>{{cite book |last1=Prentiss |first1=Augustin Mitchell |last2=Fisher |first2=George J.

===Biocide===
Acrolein is mainly used as a [[contact herbicide]] to control submersed and floating weeds, as well as algae, in [[irrigation canal]]s. It is used at a level of 10 ppm in irrigation and recirculating waters. In the [[oil and gas industry]], it is used as a [[biocide]] in [[drilling water]]s, as well as a scavenger for [[hydrogen sulfide]] and [[thiol|mercaptans]].<ref name=Ullmann/>

===Chemical precursor===
A number of useful compounds are made from acrolein, exploiting its bifunctionality. The amino acid [[methionine]] is produced by addition of [[methanethiol]] followed by the [[Strecker synthesis]]. Acrolein condenses with acetaldehyde and amines to give [[methylpyridine]]s.<ref name=ul>{{Ullmann|first1=S. |last1=Shimizu |first2=N. |last2=Watanabe |first3=T. |last3=Kataoka |first4=T. |last4=Shoji |first5=N. |last5=Abe |first6=S. |last6=Morishita |first7=H. |last7=Ichimura |title=Pyridine and Pyridine Derivatives |doi=10.1002/14356007.a22_399}}</ref> It is also an intermediate in the [[Skraup reaction|Skraup synthesis]] of [[quinoline]]s.

Acrolein will polymerize in the presence of oxygen and in water at concentrations above 22%. The color and texture of the polymer depends on the conditions. The polymer is a clear, yellow solid. In water, it will form a hard, porous plastic.{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}

Acrolein has been used as a fixative in preparation of biological specimens for [[electron microscopy]].<ref name=Dykstra>{{cite book | author = M J Dykstra, L E Reuss | date = 2003 | title = Biological Electron Microscopy: Theory, Techniques, and Troubleshooting | publisher = Springer | isbn = 0-306-47749-1}}</ref>

==Health risks==
Acrolein is toxic and is a strong irritant for the skin, eyes, and nasal passages.<ref name=Ullmann/> The main metabolic pathway for acrolein is the [[alkylation]] of [[glutathione]]. The [[World Health Organization|WHO]] suggests a "tolerable oral acrolein intake" of 7.5&nbsp;μg per day per kg of body weight. Although acrolein occurs in [[French fries]] (and other fried foods), the levels are only a few μg per kg.<ref name=ToxRev/> In response to occupational exposures to acrolein, the US [[Occupational Safety and Health Administration]] has set a [[permissible exposure limit]] at 0.1 ppm (0.25&nbsp;mg/m<sup>3</sup>) at an eight-hour time-weighted average.<ref name=cdc>[https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0011.html CDC - NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards]</ref> Acrolein acts in an immunosuppressive manner and may promote regulatory cells,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Roth-Walter |first1=Franziska |last2=Bergmayr |first2=Cornelia |last3=Meitz |first3=Sarah |last4=Buchleitner |first4=Stefan |last5=Stremnitzer |first5=Caroline |last6=Fazekas |first6=Judit |last7=Moskovskich |first7=Anna |last8=Müller |first8=Mario A. |last9=Roth |first9=Georg A. |last10=Manzano-Szalai |first10=Krisztina |last11=Dvorak |first11=Zdenek |last12=Neunkirchner |first12=Alina |last13=Jensen-Jarolim |first13=Erika |author-link13=Erika Jensen-Jarolim |date=2017 |title=Janus-faced Acrolein prevents allergy, but accelerates tumor growth by promoting immunoregulatory Foxp3+ cells: Mouse model for passive respiratory exposure |journal=Scientific Reports |volume=7 |article-number=45067 |bibcode=2017NatSR...745067R |doi=10.1038/srep45067 |pmc=5362909 |pmid=28332605}}</ref> thereby preventing the generation of allergies on the one hand, but also increasing the risk of cancer.

==Analytical methods==
The "acrolein test" is for the presence of [[glycerin]] or [[fat]]s. A sample is heated with [[potassium bisulfate]], and acrolein is released if the test is positive. When a fat is heated strongly in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as potassium bisulfate ({{chem|KHSO|4}}), the glycerol portion of the molecule is dehydrated to form the unsaturated [[aldehyde]], acrolein (CH<sub>2</sub>=CH–CHO), which has the odor peculiar to burnt cooking grease. More modern methods exist.<ref name=ToxRev>{{cite journal | last1 = Abraham | first1 = Klaus | last2 = Andres | first2 = Susanne | last3 = Palavinskas | first3 = Richard | last4 = Berg | first4 = Katharina | last5 = Appel | first5 = Klaus E. | last6 = Lampen | first6 = Alfonso | year = 2011 | title = Toxicology and risk assessment of acrolein in food | journal = Mol.
