    DESCRIPTION

    General description

    1,2-Propanediol can be obtained as a byproduct in the dehydration of glycerol to hydroxyacetone.[1]It can undergo condensation with sebacic acid and citric acid in the absence of catalyst to give poly((1,2-propanediol-sebacate)-citrate) (PPSC), an elastomeric polyester, which can find applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery.[2]

    Application

    1,2-Propanediol has been used:
    • for removing excess Oil Red O stain in zebrafish larvae[3]
    • in the preparation of alginate hydrogels[4]
    • for the dissolution of androstenone[5]
    • for the calibration of cone beam scanner in computed tomography[6]
