• In organic chemistry, the compound CH2=CH-CHO, more often called acrolein than the IUPAC name 2-propenal, is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde.
• It is produced widely but is most often immediately reacted with other products due to its instability and toxicity.
• It has a piercing, disagreeable, acrid smell similar to that of burning fat.
• Acrolein is a severe pulmonary irritant and lacrimating agent.
• Acrolein is a colorless or yellow liquid with a disagreeable odor.
•  It dissolves in water very easily and quickly changes to a vapor when heated.
• It also burns easily. Small amounts of acrolein can be formed and can enter the air when trees, tobacco, other plants, gasoline, and oil are burned.
• Acrolein test is a test for the presence of glycerin or fats.
  A sample is heated with potassium bisulfate, and acrolein is released if the test is positive.
• Acrolein is prepared industrially by oxidation of propene.
• Efforts are underway to use propane as feedstock for the synthesis, however, this is more difficult.
• The concentrations depend on the preparation method,H2 is the main product using a Ag/SiO2 catalyst, prepared by incipient-wetness technique.
• Oxidative stress has been implicated in acrolein cytotoxicity in various cell types, including mammalian spinal cord tissue.
• Acrolein is used as a pesticide to control algae, weeds, bacteria, and mollusks.
• It is also used to make other chemicals.
• A method to generate libraries of genomic DNA fragments containing oxidatively modified bases by using specific monoclonal antibodies to immunoprecipitate enzyme-digested genome DNA.
• Acrolein is used in the preparation of polyester resin, polyurethane, propylene glycol, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and glycerol.
• Acrolein tends to polymerize when left at room temperature, leaving a gummy yellowish residue with a putrid odor.
•  Acrolein is also a metabolite of the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide, and is associated with hemorrhagic cystitis.
