| Method for Purification | Acetaldehyde is usually purified by fractional distillation in a glass helices-packed column under dry N2, discarding the first portion of distillate. Or, it is shaken for 30 minutes with NaHCO3, dried with CaSO4 and fractionally distilled at 760 mm through a 70 cm Vigreux column (p 11). The middle fraction is collected and further purified by standing for 2 hours at 0℃ with a small amount of hydroquinone (free radical inhibitor), followed by distillation [Longfield & Walters J Am Chem Soc 77 810 1955].
