What is "succinaldehyde"

Succinaldehyde or succindialdehyde is an organic compound with the formula (CHCHO). Typical of other dialdehyde, succinaldehyde is highly reactive. Usually, it is handled as the hydrates or methanol-derived acetal. It is a precursor to tropinone. It is used as a crosslinking agent but is less widely used than the related dialdehyde glutaraldehyde.
