description | 2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol, abbreviation MPD) is a diol organic matter, with a chiral carbon atom, colorless liquid at room temperature, can be hydrogenated from diacetone alcohol. The appearance of colorless liquid, sweet mild. Miscible with water, miscible in ethanol, soluble in most organic solvents. |
Properties and stability | 1. Avoid contact with strong acid, strong oxidant, strong reducing agent, acid chloride, acid anhydride. Flammable liquid. Easy moisture absorption, non-corrosive to metals. Similar to ethylene glycol, it is stable to alkali and does not decompose when boiled with sodium hydroxide. In the presence of an acid, a condensation reaction with an aldehyde easily takes place to form a derivative of 1, 3-dioxane. 2. Exist in Burley tobacco leaves, smoke. |
Application | 2-methyl -2, 4-pentanediol (MPD) is a widely used fine chemical product, can be used in pesticide, biochemical engineering, photosensitive materials, synthetic spices and other fields. 2-methyl -2, 4-pentanediol is a highly soluble organic solvent, which can be used as an additive for the production of rust and oil removal from metal surface treatment agents, and can also be used as textile auxiliaries, can also be used in paint and latex paint, can also be used in cosmetics, used as pesticide stabilizer, can also be used for daily moisturizing agent, flavor raw materials, hydraulic oil, high temperature lubricating oil, brake oil, dry cleaning agent, printing ink, pigment dispersant, wood preservative and so on. Osmotic agent, emulsifier and antifreeze. It is used as solvent, perfume, medical disinfectant, penetration agent for fabric, paper making and leather processing aid. The oral LD50 of rats was 4700mg/kg. used as pesticide stabilizer, anti-freezing agent for diesel engine oil, etc. coupling agent and penetrating agent for fabric. Emulsifiers. Fluid for hydraulic braking. Additives for fuels and lubricants |
synthesis method | 2-methyl -2, 4-pentanediol its synthesis method mainly has the following two kinds, one is prepared by the decomposition of 2,4,4, 6-tetramethyl-1, 3-dioxane in methanol; the other method is to use acetone condensate diacetone alcohol as raw material for hydrogenation synthesis. The process is simple and the raw material is easy to obtain. |
production method | diacetone alcohol (see 11360) is obtained by condensation of acetone, followed by liquid phase hydrogenation. |
