(R)-(+)-Propylene carbonate Usage And Synthesis

Description

(R)-(+)-Propylene carbonate, also known as (R)-1,2-Propanediol cyclic carbonate, presents as a colorless to pale yellow liquid. This compound should keep the container tightly closed and stored in a cool and dark place. For best results, store under inert gas, protected from moisture, as this substance is moisture-sensitive. (R)-(+)-Propylene carbonate is incompatible with oxidizing agents and acids. This chemical causes skin irritation as well as serious eye irritation.

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

(R)-1,2-Propylene Carbonate (cas# 16606-55-6) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.
