CAS 502-97-6

Glycolide

Description:

Glycolide, with the CAS number 502-97-6, is a cyclic diester derived from glycolic acid. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethyl acetate but has limited solubility in water. Glycolide is notable for its role in the production of polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer widely used in various applications, including packaging, textiles, and medical devices. The substance exhibits a melting point that varies depending on its purity and crystalline form. Glycolide is characterized by its ability to undergo ring-opening polymerization, which is a key reaction in the synthesis of PLA. Additionally, it has a relatively low toxicity profile, making it suitable for applications in the biomedical field. However, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to minimize exposure. Overall, glycolide is an important compound in the field of polymer chemistry and sustainable materials.
