Methyl propyl carbonate - Introduction
Methyl carbonate, also known as methyl propyl carbonate, is an organic compound. The following is a brief description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
Methyl propyl carbonate is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with low volatility, non-flammable and insoluble in water. Its chemical formula is C6H12O3 and its molecular weight is 132.16g/mol.
Use:
Methyl propyl carbonate are used industrially as organic solvents and intermediates. It is widely used in the fields of paint, ink, glue and varnish. In addition, Methyl propyl carbonate can also be used as a cleaning agent for electronic components, a solvent for organic synthesis reactions, and a plasticizer for coating films.
Preparation Method:
Methyl propyl carbonate can be prepared by the reaction of methanol and propanol with dimethyl carbonate. The reaction is usually carried out at a suitable temperature and under the catalysis of an acid or a base.
Safety Information:
Methyl propyl carbonate can cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and ensure proper ventilation. If ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately. During storage and handling, care needs to be taken to prevent it from contacting fire sources or high temperatures to avoid the risk of fire and explosion.
