Uses
3,3-Dimethylbutyraldehyde is an intermediate used to prepare spiro-oxindoles as potent, specific small-molecule Inhibitors of the MDM2-p53 Interaction.
Preparation
3,3-dimethylbutanal is prepared from 3,3-dimethylbutanol obtained by reduction of the corresponding carboxylic acid or 1,2-epoxy-3,3-dimethylbutane, or by hydrolysis of 1-halo-3,3-dimethylbutane.
