General description
Hydroxyacetone (Acetol) is important for the manufacture of polyols, acrolein, dyes and skin tanning agents. It undergoes asymmetric reduction to yield (R)-1,2-propanediol in the presence of microbial cell catalyst.
Application
Hydroxyacetone was used to study aerobic oxidation of glycerol and propanediol over metal oxide supported gold nanoparticles in methanol.

An efficient direct asymmetric aldol reaction between hydroxyacetone and β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters has been successfully developed. In the presence of 9-amino-9-deoxy-epi-cinchonine and trifluoroacetic acid, the direct aldol reaction of O-protected hydroxyacetone proceeded in a highly enantioselective manner, affording the desired
