1,3-DIHYDROXYACETONE DIMER Usage And Synthesis

Uses

1,3-Dihydroxyacetone Dimer is used in the synthesis of dihydropyrimidine calcium channel blockers. Also used in the preparation of a new antineoplastic and antifilarial agents as anticancer agents.

Uses

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.

Definition

ChEBI: Dihydroxyacetone (dimer) is a member of dioxanes.
