2-METHYL-1,3-DIOXOLANE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Uses

Extractant and solvent for oils, fats, waxes,dyestuffs, and cellulose derivatives.

Uses

2-Methyl-1,3-dioxolane is used in method for treating biodegradation of organic chlorine compounds using 1,4-Dioxane-degrading bacterium N23 strain.

General Description

The kinetics and mechanism of the gas-phase thermal decomposition of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane has been studied in a static system. The infrared spectra of solid, liquid and gaseous 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane has been studied. Low-temperature ozonation of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane in acetone-d₆, methyl acetate and tert-butyl methyl ether has been reported.

Hazard

Irritant.
