Acrolein dimethyl acetal Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Uses

Acrolein dimethyl acetal was used in the facile one step synthesis of 4-hydroxy-2E-nonenal and its dimethyl acetal via a cross-metathesis reaction with octen-3-ol.

Purification Methods

Fractionally distil it (after adding 0.5g of hydroquinone) under reduced pressure through an all glass column (40cm x 2.5 cm) packed with glass helices and provided with a heated jacket and a total reflux variable take-off head. Stainless steel Lessing rings (1/8 x 1/8 in) or gauze have also been used as packing. It is a highly flammable and TOXIC liquid; keep away from the skin.
