General description
Methyl 5,5-dimethoxyvalerate (methyl 5,5-dimethoxypentanoate) is an ester. It can be prepared by reacting methyl 5-oxopentanoate with p-toluene sulfonic acid and trimethylorthoformate. It participates in the synthesis of 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine.
Application
Methyl 5,5-dimethoxyvalerate may be employed in the synthesis of seven-membered carbocycles. It may be used in the synthesis of 5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylimino)methyl)-4-pentenoic acid derivatives.

Oxidation of unsaturated phospholipids results in the generation of aldehyde side chains that remain esterified to the phospholipid backbone. Such "core" aldehydes elicit immune responses and promote inflammation. However, the biochemical mechanisms by which phospholipid aldehydes are metabolized or detoxified
