Overview | The preparation method of 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol is to make formaldehyde and 2-methylpropanal in the presence of a base. The aldehyde alcohol condensation reaction and the subsequent cross-canizarro (cannizzaro) reaction are carried out to produce 2, 2-Dialkyl-1, 3-propanediol. |
application | 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol is an alcoholic organic substance and can be used as an organic solvent. |
use | additive flame retardant, mainly used in PBT and ABS/PC polymer alloys, with better melt flow rate and higher flame retardant efficiency |
