1,3-Diacetoxyacetone

Ref. 3D-GAA94610

Product Information

• Name: 1,3-Diacetoxyacetone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,3-Diacetoxyacetone is an acetylation agent that reacts with the terminal alkynes in a chemical reaction. It is synthesized by the acetonitrile-catalyzed addition of chlorine to an iminium ion. This product is used in organic reactions and supramolecular chemistry. The acetyl group can be replaced with other groups, such as allyl groups, to produce different products. 1,3-Diacetoxyacetone also has a stereoselective reaction that favors the formation of one of two stereoisomers from a diastereomeric mixture. This process can be used to synthesize the desired stereoisomer from the mixture without using chromatography or recrystallization techniques.
