1,2-Ethanediol,1-formate - Introduction
2-hydroxyethyl form (methyl 2-hydroxyacetate) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3OCOCH2OH. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
2-hydroxyethyl form is a colorless liquid with a sweet taste. It is soluble in many organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers and insoluble in water. It is a low volatile compound, stable at room temperature.
Use:
2-hydroxyethyl form has many uses in chemistry and industry. It is often used as a solvent for organic synthesis, can be used as a catalyst carrier, and participate in a variety of organic reactions. In addition, 2-hydroxyethyl form can also be used as a solubilizer for coatings and paints to improve their solubility and stability.
Method:
The preparation of 2-hydroxyethyl form is usually achieved by the esterification reaction of alcohol and formic acid. The specific process is to react ethylene glycol with formic acid, and in the presence of an acid catalyst, the reaction is carried out under appropriate temperature and time conditions to obtain the target product.
Safety Information:
2-hydroxyethyl form is relatively safe under normal conditions of use. However, it is a volatile organic solvent, so it should be used to avoid prolonged exposure to high concentrations of vapor. Care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes, skin and inhalation during operation. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water and seek medical help. In addition, 2-hydroxyethyl form should be stored in a dark, cool, dry place, away from fire and oxidant.
