Description
Methylglyoxal is supplied as a 40 % solution in water for laboratory chemical use. This reagent has the empirical formula C₃H₄O₂, CAS number 78-98-8, a molar mass of 72,06 g/mol and a density of 1,11 g/cm³. Further physical data include a flash point of 72 °C and a boiling point of 97,9 °C. EG number 201-164-8 identifies the substance in European chemical inventories. Laboratories employ methylglyoxal in studies of carbonyl chemistry, glycation-related research and as a building block or intermediate where a defined aqueous preparation is preferred. The glass pack supports controlled dispensing and clear identification on the bench. Use only within established laboratory safety procedures appropriate to corrosive and reactive carbonyl compounds of this class.

Questions about Methylglyoxal, 40 % in water, 100 ml, glass
What is this article?
Methylglyoxal, 40 % in water, 100 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
