An amine nucleophilically attacks this compound in the first step of a reaction which forms a beta-amino carbonyl, a compound also called a (*) Mannich base.
This compound is released upon hydrolysis of compounds such as DMDM hydantoin [high-DAN- toe-in] and Quaternium-15. This compound is the lighter of the two monomers used to form melamine resin and Novolac. A pyridine derivative with no substituent at the 4 position is produced by the reaction of this compound with two beta-keto esters in the Hantzsch synthesis. An amine nucleophilically attacks this compound in the first step of a reaction which forms a beta-amino carbonyl, a compound also called a (*) Mannich base. The proton NMR spectrum of this compound consists of only one peak at around 9.6 ppm. In ChIP, this compound is used to cross-link DNA to proteins. It is the simplest and most common fixating agent used in biology experiments. Oxidizing methanol produces -- for 10 points -- what simplest aldehyde, which is used to preserve dead bodies?
