Abstract

Summary The intramolecularly H-bonded cis enolic form of malondialdehyde in chloroform is converted to an intermolecularly H-bonded trans enol by methoxy compounds such as methanol and 3, 3-dimethoxypropanal." Polar impurities" such as acetone and dioxane do not induce this effect. In aqueous solution sodio-1 predominates at pH> 6. Based upon'H NMR coupling constants, both 1 and sodio-1 have the trans configuration in aqueous ...
