3-Ethoxy-1-propanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties colourless liquid
General Description A clear colorless liquid, with a mild odor. Less dense than water. Contact may slightly irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
Air & Water Reactions Highly flammable. Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile 3-Ethoxy-1-propanol is an ethoxy-alcohol derivative. The ether is relatively unreactive. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
Fire Hazard 3-Ethoxy-1-propanol is combustible.
