(+/-)-PROPYLENE OXIDE (C005B-077162)

General description

(±)-Propylene oxide is an organic compound used as an intermediate in several chemical reactions. It readily reacts with active hydrogen atoms.

Application

Propylene oxide can be used as a starting material to synthesize:

• Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), a biodegradable and biocompatible polyester, by carbonylative polymerization.
• Poly (propylene-ram-ε-caprolactone carbonate) (PPCL) and poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC), which are applicable as drug carriers.
  

Propylene oxide may be used in the production of polyether polyols, propylene glycols, propylene glycol ethers.
