Methylaminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal

Description

Methylaminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal can be used as a pharmaceutical synthesis intermediate, such as the preparation of methimazole, the chemical name is 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol, which is an antithyroid drug, and its mechanism of action is to inhibit thyroid endoperoxide Enzymes, thereby hindering the oxidation of iodide absorbed into the thyroid and the coupling of tyrosine, hindering the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Animal experiments have observed that B lymphocytes synthesize antibodies, reduce the level of thyroid-stimulating antibodies in the blood circulation, and restore the suppressor T cells to normal.

Chemical properties

clear colorless to light yellowish liquid

The Uses of Methylaminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal

2,2-Dimethoxy-N-methylethanamine is an impurity formed in the synthetic process of Methimazole (M260300), a thiourea antithyroid agent that prevents iodine organification,

The Uses of Methylaminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal

(Methylamino)acetaldehyde dimethyl acetal can be used as a reactant to synthesize:

• Aza[3.3.2] cyclazines by reacting with 5-methyloxazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium salts via synthesis of functionalized 5-aminoindolizines intermediates.
• N-(2,2-Dimethoxyethyl)-N-methyl-3,4-dimethoxyphenylglycine by Petasis reaction with glyoxylic acid and 3,4-dimethoxyphenylboronic acid.
• Substituted imidazoles via copper-catalyzed reaction with various nitriles.
