3-Ethoxy-1-propanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

3-??Ethoxy-??1-??propanol is used in the synthesis of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as anticancer agents. It is also used to prepare N-substituted [(carboxymethyl)phenoxy]ethyl benzoxazinones as PPARγ agonists and antidiabetic (type 2) agents.

Definition

ChEBI: A hydroxyether that is propan-1-ol substituted by an ethoxy group at position 3.

General Description

A clear colorless liquid, with a mild odor. Less dense than water. Contact may slightly irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

3-Ethoxy-1-propanol is an ethoxy-alcohol derivative. The ether is relatively unreactive. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

Fire Hazard

3-Ethoxy-1-propanol is combustible.
