Dl-Glyceraldehyde is a triose sugar aldehyde used as a chiral building block in pharmaceutical synthesis. Its standard molecular formula is C3H6O3 with CAS 590-24-1. Production typically involves the controlled oxidation of glycerol or hydrolysis of specific acetal precursors to ensure high purity for industrial intermediates.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent polymerization. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles during handling.
