2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol

Description:
2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, with the CAS number 94-96-2, is a colorless, viscous liquid that belongs to the class of diols, specifically aliphatic alcohols. It features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located at the first and third carbon atoms of a hexane chain, with an ethyl group attached to the second carbon. This structure imparts it with properties such as moderate solubility in water and good solubility in organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. The compound is known for its low volatility and relatively high boiling point, which contribute to its stability under different conditions. 2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol is often used as a plasticizer, solvent, and in the formulation of coatings and adhesives due to its ability to enhance flexibility and durability. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity, making it suitable for use in consumer products. However, like many chemicals, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to minimize exposure.
