1. It is prepared by bromination, acetalization, debromination and hydrolysis of acetaldehyde.
2. Natural products are free by steam distillation to obtain crude products, and then extracted and refined by acetone.
It is obtained by reacting hexanal with ethylene glycol after bromination, and then hydrolyzing.
