2,4-Hexadienoic Acid

What is 2,4-Hexadienoic Acid？

2,4-Hexadienoic Acid is also known as herbal tea acid, 2,4-hexadienoic acid, 2-propylene acrylic acid, with a molecular formula of C6H8O2. It is a colorless or white to light yellow flaky crystal, crystalline powder or granules. It is odorless or slightly odorous. It is unstable in the air and absorbs moisture and oxidative decomposition to color when left for a long time. It will not decompose when sealed at room temperature and has good thermal stability. It is a food additive that has an inhibitory effect on many fungi such as yeast and mold. It is an efficient and safe preservative and is widely used in food, beverage, medicine, cosmetics, tobacco and other industries.

Production Method

1. Ethylene ketone method This method is the most commonly used method in international industrial production. Acetic acid is cracked at high temperature to produce ethylene ketone, which is then condensed with crotonaldehyde to form polyester, and then hydrolyzed and refined to obtain the finished product. Raw material consumption quota: ethylene ketone 510kg/t, crotonaldehyde 1100kg/t.
2. Malonic acid method It is obtained by condensation and decarboxylation of malonic acid and crotonaldehyde.
3. Acetone method It is obtained by condensation of acetone and crotonaldehyde, and then dehydrogenation.
4. Butadiene method It uses butadiene and acetic acid as raw materials, and in the presence of manganese acetate catalyst, it is compressed and synthesized at 140℃ to obtain γ-ethylene-γ-butyrolactone. Butyrolactone is ring-opened under the action of acidic ion exchange resin to obtain sorbic acid.
5. Acetic acid is cracked at high temperature to generate ketene, which is then condensed with crotonaldehyde to form polyester, which is then hydrolyzed and refined to obtain the finished product.
