Containing three hydroxy functional groups, TMP is a widely used building block in the polymer industry. ==Production== TMP is produced via a two step process, starting with the condensation of butanal with formaldehyde: :CH3CH2CH2CHO + 2 CH2O → CH3CH2C(CH2OH)2CHO The second step entails a Cannizaro reaction: :CH3CH2C(CH2OH)2CHO + CH2O + NaOH → CH3CH2C(CH2OH)3 + NaO2CH Approximately 200,000,000 kg are produced annually in this way.〔Peter Werle, Marcus Morawietz, Stefan Lundmark, Kent Sörensen, Esko Karvinen, Juha Lehtonen “Alcohols, Polyhydric” in Ullmann’s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2008.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trimethylolpropane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
