1,1,3,3-Tetramethoxypropane (Malonaldehyde Tetramethyl Acetal) 99%

Gandi Chemical Solutions supplies 1,1,3,3-Tetramethoxypropane (Malonaldehyde Tetramethyl Acetal) 99% (CAS 102-52-3) to manufacturers, water treatment plants and industrial processors. Enquiries for 1,1,3,3-Tetramethoxypropane 99% are quoted against this listing. Priced by quotation, with a current safety data sheet on every consignment.

This tetramethyl acetal is the masked form of malondialdehyde, used in organic synthesis and as a precursor for generating malondialdehyde standards in analytical/research chemistry. It hydrolyzes to release the aldehyde under acidic conditions, so it’s stored sealed and away from acids and moisture.

Where 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane 99% is used

• Malondialdehyde standard for TBARS lipid peroxidation assays
• Three-carbon building block in heterocyclic synthesis, notably pyrimidines and pyrazoles
• Intermediate in pharmaceutical and dye manufacture
• Reagent in analytical chemistry and biochemical research

Key features

• CAS 102-52-3, C7H16O4.
• Also ordered as Propane, 1, 1.
• Packed to your requirement at 99%, with a certificate of analysis.

Specification and grade

1,1,3,3-Tetramethoxypropane — malonaldehyde tetramethyl acetal — at 99%, CAS 102-52-3, formula C₇H₁₆O₄. It is the storable equivalent of malondialdehyde, which cannot be isolated as a stable free compound. Mild acid hydrolysis releases the dialdehyde quantitatively, which is exactly why it is the reference standard in TBARS work.

Handling and storage

Combustible and an irritant. Moisture- and acid-sensitive: hydrolysis begins on contact with acid or water and the released dialdehyde is reactive and unstable. Store cool, dry and sealed away from acids and oxidisers. For analytical use, the hydrolysis is done fresh at the point of assay rather than in advance.

Packaging and supply

Packed to your requirement at 99%, with a certificate of analysis. For analytical standard use, ask for the assay method and lot certificate with the quotation so it can go into your method validation file.
