Reaction Steps

DMDMH is a formaldehyde donor which is the diformylated product of DMH and formaldehyde. MDMH is first formed as an intermediate. MDMH, itself, is a formaldehyde scavenger containing about 19% by weight of bound, but available, formaldehyde. Subsequent reaction of MDMH with formaldehyde yields DMDMH which theoretically contains 31.9% of bound but available, formaldehyde.
