| Questions and Answers (Q&A) | Back Directory | [Description]
Trimethylacetaldehyde (also known as Pivaldehyde) is the trimethyl
form of acetaldehyde. It is an aldehyde with a sterically bulky R
group, the tertiary-butyl group being attached to the carbonyl,
>C=O. It is a useful reagent in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals,
agrochemicals and dyestuff. It is useful in streoselective synthesis
application as well as in aldol condensation reactions. As a
derivative of acetaldehyde, trimethyl acetaldehyde can be used for
the production of acetate. It can also be used as the precursor for
manufacturing of pyridine derivatives, pentaerythritol, and
crotonaldehyde. |

Commonly used building block in aldol condensation reactions. | [Application]
Pivaldehyde is a hazardous by-product released from engine exhaust and is often used as a raw material for organic synthesis or as a reagent in chemical reactions. It can be copolymerised with aldehyde anions, such as acrolein, to prepare unsaturated polyacetals, or a TBPB initiated decarbonylative cascade cyclization of ortho-cyanoarylacrylamides with pivaldehyde leads to tert-butyl containing quinolone-2,4(1H,3H)-diones by formation of both C(sp3)–C(sp3) and C(sp3)–C(sp2) bonds. As well as probing the absolute rate constants of its autoxidation, etc[1-3].
| [Definition]
ChEBI: 2,2-dimethylpropanal is a member of the class of propanals that is propanal substituted by two methyl groups at position 2. It is a member of propanals and a 2-methyl-branched fatty aldehyde. | [References]
