General description

This product is a 60wt% solution of 2,2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde (glyoxal dimethyl acetal) in water. The aldol condensation of 2,2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde with acetoacetic ester in the absence of the catalyst and solvent has been reported. It participates in the synthesis of isoxazoline vinyl ester pseudopeptides and tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives of barbituric acid analogs.

A new process for the synthesis of hydroxytyrosol (3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol), the most powerful natural antioxidant currently known, by means of a two-step approach is reported. Catechol is first reacted with 2,2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde in basic aqueous medium to produce the corresponding mandelic derivative
