2,2-Dimethoxypropane (DMP) is an organic compound with the formula (CH₃)₂C(OCH₃)₂. A colorless liquid, it is the product of the condensation of acetone and methanol. DMP is used as a water scavenger in water-sensitive reactions. Upon acid-catalyzed reaction, DMP reacts quantitatively with water to form acetone and methanol.^[2] This property can be used to accurately determine the amount of water in a sample, alternatively to the Karl Fischer method.^[3]
