Butanoic Acid is converted to Butanal in two steps;

Step 1: Conversion of Butanoic Acid into Butyryl Chloride:

Butanoic Acid when treated with Thionyl Chloride gives Butyryl Chloride, SO₂ and HCl gases. This step is selected due to conversion of a bad leaving group (-OH) into a good leaving group (-Cl).

Step 2: Conversion of Butyryl Chloride to Butanal:

In this reaction the Butyryl Chloride is reduced to Butanal by treating Butyryl Chloride with a mild reducing agent i.e. <span>Lithium tri </span>tert-<span>butoxy aluminum hydride.</span>

kondaur [170]
Lord Kelvin, were he alive today, would be considered a Thermochemist. Thermochemistry is interested in the role of heat in chemical reactions. This includes the role of heat both as a biproduct of chemical reactions and a facilitator.

Kelvin's description of absolute zero is an important concept in thermochemistry. At absolute zero, there is no movement of molecules, and no energy available facilitate chemical reactions.

Alborosie
<span>c = speed of light = 3.00 x 10^5 km/s = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s
  λ = wavelength of the microwave radiation = 3.50 cm = 0.035 m
  f = frequency (in Hertz) = to be determined
    f = c/λ = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 0.035 m
  f = 8.57 x 10^9 Hz Frequency</span>
