General description

Kinetics of oxidative degradation of acetaldehyde dimethyl acetal has been studied by pulse radiolysis. It also undergoes addition with various ketones, esters, amides and thioesters in the presence of silyl trifluoromethanesulfonates and an amine base. Lewis acid-mediated reaction of the titanium enolate of (S)-N-acetyl-4-isopropyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione with acetaldehyde dimethyl acetal has been studied.

Application

Acetaldehyde dimethyl acetal may be used in the preparation of glucoside derivatives of steganol. It may be used as polymer solvent for the encapsulation of water-soluble model protein, bovine serum albumin into biodegradable poly(D,L-lactic acid.

The aim was to study the effect of the type of polymer solvent on characteristics of microspheres produced by spray drying. The water-soluble model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was microencapsulated into biodegradable poly(D,L-lactic acid) using the following 10 different

Glucoside derivatives of steganol analogous to the semisynthetic podophyllotoxin derivative, VP 16-213, were prepared. Glucosidation of steganol with 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-benzylglucopyranose gave the alpha-anomer of the glucoside as the major product. Subsequent removal of the benzyl groups and reaction
