Controlled Product

CAS: 25714-71-0

4-Hydroxybutyraldehyde is a carbonyl group that contains a zirconium oxide fragment. It is acidic and can be used as an inhibitor of tumor cells. 4-Hydroxybutyraldehyde has been shown to deuterium isotope effect on the reaction mechanism. This chemical ionization process leads to the production of an H3+ cation, which reacts with the sample in order to produce a protonated product. The hydrogenated form of this molecule undergoes an addition reaction with butyrolactone, forming the desired product. The synthetic pathway for this molecule starts with metal carbonyl complexes, which react with nucleophiles such as ammonia or amines to produce 4-hydroxybutyraldehyde.
