Thanks for that info! Sorry about that angry-alcoholic post.. Will paraldehyde form an adduct with a saturates solition of Na- or K-bisulfite, like with acetaldehyde or benzaldehydes??
Paraldehyde, IIRC, will slowly decompose in solution to produce acetaldehyde. This then will form the bisulfite adduct. Paraldehyde itself however, no.
