4-Chloromethyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane is a chemical compound that is used as a marker to identify the presence of fatty acids in plant tissues. It can be synthesized by reacting chloroacetaldehyde with methanol and sodium hydroxide. This compound has a cyclic structure and is chiral. It is also used for mass spectrometric analysis of fatty acid composition in plants. The synthesis of 4-chloromethyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane involves four steps: (i) chlorination of acetaldehyde with sodium hypochlorite; (ii) hydrolysis of the resulting chloroacetaldehyde with methanol and sodium hydroxide; (iii) oxidation of the resulting chloroformate with hydrogen peroxide; and (iv) hydrolysis of the resulting 4-chloromethyloxymethanol with water.
