3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol

Description:
3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol, also known as glycerol monochlorohydrin, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H7ClO2. It is characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom attached to the third carbon of a three-carbon chain that also contains two hydroxyl (–OH) groups. This compound appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. It is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it versatile in various applications. 3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol is primarily used in the synthesis of other chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and can also serve as an intermediate in the production of glycerol derivatives. However, it is important to handle this substance 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 compound in laboratory or industrial settings.
