DIMETHYL 2-KETOGLUTARATE - Introduction

Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate(Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H10O5. It is a colorless liquid with water-soluble and volatile properties.

Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate is widely used in chemical industry and laboratory. The Main uses include:
-As an intermediate in organic synthesis, it is used to synthesize organic compounds such as plant growth regulators and pesticides;
-As a food additive, it has the effect of increasing the flavor and aroma of food.

The preparation method of Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate is generally carried out by the following steps:
1. First, acetic acid and methanol react to prepare methyl acetate;
2. Then, methyl acetate reacts with sodium cyanide to generate ethyl acetate;
3. Finally, ethyl acetate reacts with chloroacetic acid to give Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate.

Note the following safety information when using and operating Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate:
-avoid contact with skin and eyes, such as contact should be promptly washed with water;
-Operate in a well-ventilated place to avoid inhaling gas;
