Description

2-[2-(Prop-2-Ynyloxy)Ethoxy]Ethan-1-Ol is a specialized organic compound featuring an alkyne (propargyl) and ether-alcohol functional groups, making it a valuable bifunctional building block. This unique structure provides versatile reactivity for chemical synthesis, enabling the creation of advanced polymers, coatings, and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is essential for R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries seeking to develop novel materials with tailored properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly where propargyl ether linkages are required.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Used as a cross-linking agent or monomer in the synthesis of specialty polymers, coatings, and adhesives to enhance properties like thermal stability and chemical resistance.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor in the manufacture of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Click Chemistry Reagent: The alkyne group makes it a prime candidate for copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions, a cornerstone of bioconjugation and material science.
• Surface Active Agent: Employed in the formulation of specialty surfactants and emulsifiers due to its amphiphilic ether-alcohol structure.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Materials: Used in the research and production of advanced organic electronic materials and liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

Quality Control

Our 2-[2-(Prop-2-Ynyloxy)Ethoxy]Ethan-1-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical specifications. Our production adheres to cGMP guidelines where applicable, ensuring reliability for your most demanding synthesis applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents. Due to the presence of an alkyne group and ether linkages, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize the risk of peroxide formation.
