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.
