Glycinal dimethyl acetal (Cat No.: R021656) is an organic compound derived from glycinal (2-hydroxyacetaldehyde) in which the aldehyde group is protected as a dimethyl acetal. Its structure features a two-carbon chain with a hydroxyl group and an acetal moiety, providing increased stability against oxidation and nucleophilic attack. This compound is commonly used as a protected intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in carbohydrate and peptide chemistry. Its acetal group can be selectively deprotected under acidic conditions, allowing controlled reactivity during multistep synthetic processes.
