Application

1,3-Dihydroxyacetone dimer can be used as a precursor to synthesize:
  • Nitric acid esters such as 1,3-dinitratoacetone and 2,5-bis(nitratomethyl-2,5-nitrato)-1,4-dioxane.
  • Lactic acid in the presence of aluminum salts as catalysts.
  • Phosphorus doped carbon quantum dots which can be used as fluorescence labels for fingerprints imaging.
  • 1-Methyl-5-hydroxymethylimidazole scaffolds.
