Description:

Acetal, also known as Diethyl acetal or Acetaldehyde diethyl acetal is a major flavoring component of distilled beverages, especially malt whisky and sherry. Acetaldehyde diethyl acetal is used as a flavoring agent to provide fruit, nut, rum, and whiskey flavors. It can react with diketene to form ethyl 5-ethoxy-3-oxohexanoate in the presence of titanium chloride. It can also be used to synthesize mixed acetal glycosides via transacetalation.

Features:

Acetal Acetaldehyde diethyl acetal is a clear colorless liquid with a pleasant odor.
