Method for preparing 3,3-dimethylbutyraldehyde

摘要

A method is disclosed for preparing 3,3-dimethylbutyraldehyde by isomerization of 3,3-dimethylepoxybutane with a basic lithium salt which in turn may be prepared by oxidation of dimethylbutane. The method provides an economical means of preparing 3,3-dimethylbutyraldehyde.
