Abstract
at 308-338 K. The explosion of the cinnamaldehyde oxidation reaction was observed by MCPVT, in which the onset temperature was 373 K. The main products of cinnamaldehyde oxidation are acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, acetophenone, 2-hydroxyphenyl acetone, cinnamaldehyde epoxide, benzoic acid, and cinnamic acid. Oxidation is a three-step process: (1) cinnamaldehyde reacts with oxygen to form peroxides; (2) complex oxidation reactions are caused by the thermal decomposition of peroxides; (3) rapid oxidation and thermal decomposition lead to explosion hazard.
