A series of carbon-to-carbon condensations of this molecule to produce sugars and hydroxyacids was developed in 1861 by Butlerow.

This compound reacts with 1,3-butadiene to form dihydropyran in the Diels-Alder reaction. This compound is combined with 18 molar concentrated sulfuric acid to produce a reagent used for testing MDMA. That is the Marquis reagent. This compound was reacted with phenol and wood flour under high pressure to form the first ever synthetic plastic in the Bakelite process. Although it is not a carboxylic acid, methanol can be oxidized to form this compound. For 10 points, name this simplest aldehyde, with formula CH2O, often used as a preservative in anatomy labs.
