2- methyl glycerol

This extension of the Smith analysis, involving methylation of the polyalcohol, has been studied in detail by Bose, both on model systems and on the Ti fructan.84 When a ffuctan is used, this method may give l-hydroxy-3-methoxy-2-propanone and l,3-dimethoxy-2-propa-none, together with methylated glycerols. These compounds may react further under methanolysis conditions to yield 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-bis(methoxymethyl)-l,4-dioxane and l,3-dimethoxy-2-propanone dimethyl acetal, respectively. Several of these compounds may be obtained from sucrose by a model reaction. In view of the wide variety of hydroxy compounds obtained in this study,84 their separation and identification as benzeneboronates was investigated, and certain of the latter derivatives were purified by gas-liquid chromatography. The characterization of 1,2- and 1,3-diols by the mass spectra of their cyclic benzeneboronates has also been described.634...

Butanetriol trinitrate was used in the manufacture of tropic-proof double base powders. Isomers of butantriol trinitrate were also studied and utilized in practical work these include methyl glycerol trinitrate and 1,2,3-butanetriol trinitrate, which have similar properties. 

Since the spatial position of all three hydroxy groups in glycerol does not allow the formation of a phosphorous triester, homolog triols have been considered as an alternative. A typical example is 2-methyl glycerol, which can be derived from propionaldehyde and formaldehyde in the presence of a base (Scheme 2.79) [51].
