Product Information
Dimethylketene Methyl Trimethylsilyl Acetal (DMKMSA) is an aromatic hydrocarbon that has a hydroxyl group. DMKMSA has been shown to exhibit insulin resistance and to have anti-inflammatory properties. It also has a reactive functional group, which makes it suitable for use as a chemical structure. DMKMSA can be synthesized by the reaction of dimethylketene with methyl trimethylsilyl acetal in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid. The reaction results in two products: DMKMSA and hydrogen gas. DMKMSA is stable in water vapor at room temperature, but decomposes at higher temperatures. In addition, DMKMSA complexes well with water molecules, making it suitable for use as an agent for transfection experiments on cells.
