Description

Methyl 2,2-dimethoxypropionate is an oxidation catalyst that is used to convert terminal alkynes into alcohols. It is also a model system for the study of the biosynthesis of a number of natural products and drugs. In addition, methyl 2,2-dimethoxypropionate has been shown to have anticancer properties, although it has not been studied in humans. It has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in animals and may be a potential treatment for hepatitis and depression in humans. Methyl 2,2-dimethoxypropionate can be synthesized by reacting citric acid with methanol or ethanol in the presence of hydroxyl ions.
