Obtaining glyoxylic acid
Hi,
Just continuing my previous topic, there are other chemicals I'm interested in obtaining.
Does anyone know where I can buy glyoxylic acid (monohydrate or in solution) or sodium borohydride in the UK or elsewhere?
If anyone knows how to make them from simpler chemicals, let me know.
Thanks

I am interested in glyoxylic acid too, can make vanillin with it!
Obvious answer: chemical supplier. Not big ones, maybe smaller companies or hobby science stores.
Maybe there is a procedure for oxidizing glycolic acid, that should be more widely available. Also more stable since its not an aldehyde.

One can also make vanillin from coniferyl alcohol, C10H12O3, a terpeneol, obtained from the sap of pine trees (Pinus and some other coniferous
species), by ozonolysis.
