|  |  | 2,2-Dimethoxypropane Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | colourless liquid |  | Uses | 2,2-Dimethoxypropane acts as a dehydrating agent. It also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin E, vitamin A and various carotenoids such as astaxanthin. It is used as a reagent for the preparation of 1,2-diols, acetonides, isopropylidene derivatives of sugars, nucleosides, methyl esters of amino acids and enol ethers. |  | Uses | 2,2-Dimethoxypropane(DMP) is used in histology and considered to be more efficient than ethanol for the dehydration of animal tissue. |  | General Description | 2,2-Dimethoxypropane is an organic compound, which may be used as a protecting agent in the process of the synthesis of structurally related alkaloids like narciclasine and lycoricidine using phenylbromide as the starting material. |
