2-Chloro-1,3-propanediol

Description:
2-Chloro-1,3-propanediol, with the CAS number 497-04-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom and two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a three-carbon chain. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl groups. 2-Chloro-1,3-propanediol is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in certain applications, such as preservatives. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks, including skin and eye irritation, and potential toxicity upon exposure. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
