Glyoxylic Acid

Glyoxylic acid is colorless clear liquid, slightly soluble in ethanol, ether and benzene, and can be dissolved in water at will. Its aqueous solution is very stable in the air and does not deteriorate. used in the synthesis of a variety of reactions, used in Hopkins Cole reaction, which is used in the detection of tryptophan in proteins, also used as a starting material for the preparation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, which is used to get atenolol.
