<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing 3-(methylthio)propanal which can sufficiently decrease the production of high boiling impurities. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided a method for producing 3-(methylthio)propanal which comprises reacting acrolein and methyl mercaptan in the presence of allylamines (I) and triallylamines (II), and preferably an optional organic acid. The preferred amount of allylamines (I) is 0.001 to 0.50 mol per 1 mol of triallylamines (II). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
