Chemical Information
FooDB Name1,1-Dimethoxyethane
Description1,1-Dimethoxyethane, also known as dimethyl acetal, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acetals. Acetals are compounds having the structure R2C(OR')2 ( R' not Hydrogen) and thus diethers of geminal diols. Originally, the term was confined to derivatives of aldehydes (one R = H), but it now applies equally to derivatives of ketones (neither R = H ). Mixed acetals have different R' groups. 1,1-Dimethoxyethane is a sweet, alcohol, and ether tasting compound. 1,1-Dimethoxyethane has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as blackberries (Rubus), evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus), and figs (Ficus carica). This could make 1,1-dimethoxyethane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 1,1-Dimethoxyethane.
