Propynal is an organic compound with molecular formula C₃H₂O. It is the simplest possible chemical compound containing both alkyne and aldehyde functional groups.

Occurrence

Propynal has been observed in the interstellar medium. It is hypothesized to be formed from a carbon monoxide-acetylene complex.^[1] Another possible pathway is through the reaction of propynylidyne (C₃H) with water.^[2]
