Chemical intermediate, can provide controlled
release of methacrolein in acid solution.

2-METHYL-2-PROPENE-1,1-DIOL DIACETATE reacts exothermically with acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated with basic solutions. Flammable hydrogen may be generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. Reacts readily with mercaptans. Acidic conditions favor breakdown to methacrolein, which is subject to possibly vigorous polymerization.
????
When heated to decomposition, 2-METHYL-2-PROPENE-1,1-DIOL DIACETATE emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
Safety Profile
Poison by inhalation, skin contactand intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emitsacrid smoke and irritating fumes.
