31. In Guizhou Province, China, one company is making acetaldehyde the same way Chisso did. 32. Violent reactions have also been reported with acetaldehyde , hypochlorite solutions, potassium ferricyanide and peroxides. 33. The Chisso Minamata factory first started acetaldehyde production in 1932, producing 210 tons that year. 34. Acetaldehyde is toxic to peripheral nerves.35. Another example of biochemical dismutation reaction is the disproportionation of acetaldehyde into ethanol and acetic acid. 36. The starting material is prepared from propargyl chloride and an aldehyde or ketone such as acetaldehyde . 37. High level of alcohol dehydrogenase activity results in fast transformation of ethanol to more toxic acetaldehyde . 38. In May 1968, Chisso finally stopped using a mercury catalyst in the production of acetaldehyde . 39. Hence, this enzyme has one products, D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and acetaldehyde . 40. As it ages, the wine undergoes chemical autoxidation reactions involving acetaldehyde of its pigments molecules.
