Description
Tetramethoxypropane Product Overview
1,1,3,3-Tetramethoxypropane (C7H16O4) is a clear, colorless liquid that boils at about 183°C. In acid, it hydrolyzes to malondialdehyde (MDA), a reactive dialdehyde.
In addition, analytical and food laboratories use it to prepare MDA calibration standards for the TBARS test, which measures lipid oxidation in foods and biological samples. Similarly, pharmaceutical and agrochemical producers use it as a three-carbon building block for pyrimidines, pyrazoles and APIs such as some sulfonamides and antiviral intermediates.
Notably, related intermediates in our range include 2-Aminopyridine and 3,5-Dimethylpyrazole.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is it used for in laboratories?
To prepare malondialdehyde standards for the TBARS lipid oxidation test.
Why is it called a protected dialdehyde?
Because acid releases malondialdehyde from it when needed.
