It is a precursor to many fine chemicals. A prominent industrial example is the crossed aldol condensation with diethyl ketone to give trimethylcyclohexenone, this can be easily converted to trimethylhydroquinone, which is a precursor to the vitamin E. [8] Other derivatives include crotonic acid, 3-methoxybutanol and the food preservative ...
Butyraldehyde, also known as butanal, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 2 CHO. This compound is the aldehyde derivative of butane. It is a colorless flammable liquid with an unpleasant smell. It is miscible with most organic solvents.
1,1-Diethoxyethane (acetaldehyde diethyl acetal) is a major flavoring component of distilled beverages, especially malt whisky [3] and sherry. [4] Although it is just one of many compounds containing an acetal functional group, this specific chemical is sometimes called simply acetal .
Hydrogenation of 3-hydroxybutanal gives 1,3-butanediol: CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CHO + H 2 → CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CH 2 OH. This diol is a precursor to 1,3-butadiene, precursor to diverse polymers. Polymerization of 3-hydroxybutanal is also spontaneous, but can be stopped with the addition of water. Aldol has been used in making perfumes and in ore ...
The product, CH 3 CH(OCH 2 CH 3) 2, is formally named 1,1-diethoxyethane but is commonly referred to as "acetal". [39] This can cause confusion as "acetal" is more commonly used to describe compounds with the functional groups RCH(OR') 2 or RR'C(OR'') 2 rather than referring to this specific compound — in fact, 1,1-diethoxyethane is also ...
Acetylenedicarboxylic acid or butynedioic acid is an organic compound (a dicarboxylic acid) with the formula H 2 C 4 O 4 or HO−C(=O)−C≡C−C(=O)−OH. It is a crystalline solid that is soluble in diethyl ether .

3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzaldehyde can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of some pharmaceutical drugs including trimethoprim, [1] [2] cintriamide, roletamide, trimethoquinol (aka tretoquinol), and trimazosin as well as some psychedelic phenethylamines.
