A number of [alpha], [beta]-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were prepared by condensing of 2-formylfuran, 2-formylpyridine and 2-formylthiophene with acetone, acetophenone, 3-methyl-acetophenone, [alpha]-chloroacetophenone and
ethyl methyl ketone in ethanolic NaOH solutions.
Chemicals covered under the rule that affect the plastics industry include acetaldehyde, acrolein (2-propenal), allyl chloride, butyl perbenzotate (tertiary),
ethyl methyl ketone peroxide, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, hexfluoroacetone, and nitromethane.
