Smart solution chemistry: Prolonging the lifetime of ortho-phthalaldehyde disinfection solutions

The oxidation of ortho‐phthalaldehyde to phthalic acid in aqueous solutions can be remedied by the addition of various cyclic acetals, which, when reacted with phthalic acid, yields ortho‐phthalaldehyde, thus prolonging the lifetime of the ortho‐phthalaldehyde disinfection solution.
