The reactivity of different α-alkylacroleins has been described by semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods, their optimal geometric structure has been determined and heat of formation, as well as dipole moments of the molecules have been calculated. Theoretically calculated α-alkylacrolein parameters are in a good agreement with the experimental data presented in the literature for these compounds.
