Overview

1,2-Propanediol can be obtained as a byproduct in the dehydration of glycerol to hydroxyacetone.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.
Purpose
1,2-Propanediol has been used:
for removing excess Oil Red O stain in zebrafish larvae.
in the preparation of alginate hydrogels.
for the dissolution of androstenone.
for the calibration of cone beam scanner in computed tomography.
