Propargyl Alcohol, available in 98%, 99%, and ≥99.5% concentrations, is produced via advanced copper-catalyzed addition of formaldehyde to acetylene, often as a co-product in the industrial synthesis of butynediol . It features a unique terminal acetylenic structure combined with a primary alcohol group, making it an exceptionally versatile building block for complex organic synthesis . As the simplest representative of acetylenic alcohols, it demonstrates remarkable reactivity and synthetic utility . Its high purity and consistent quality make it ideal for critical applications requiring precise chemical properties. Each batch is rigorously tested using GC analysis to ensure consistent quality meeting industrial and pharmaceutical standards .
Scope of Application
Used as a key intermediate in agrochemical production for synthesizing pesticides, herbicides, and acaricides including Clodinafop-propargyl and Propargite ;
Widely applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing as a versatile intermediate for antibiotics (including sulfonamide drugs), vitamin A, vitamin E, fosfomycin sodium, and various therapeutic compounds ;
Functions as an effective corrosion inhibitor in acid media for critical industrial applications including oil-well acidizing, acid pickling of steel, and electroplating processes ;
Serves as an electroplating bath additive to enhance plating processes and improve coating quality in electronics and automotive component manufacturing ;
Acts as a reagent in metal treatment applications and as a stabilizer for chlorinated solvents ;
Used in organic synthesis as a starting material for [4+2] cycloisomerization to synthesize phthalide derivatives, and for preparing regioselective furan-3-carboxamides ;
Functions as a laboratory reagent for synthesizing β-oxopropyl esters by reacting with carboxylic acids using ruthenium complexes as catalysts .
Product Features
Propargyl Alcohol is manufactured using advanced catalytic processes and purification technologies, ensuring consistent quality and precise purity control. The product features exceptional reactivity due to its terminal acetylenic structure, with a molecular weight of 56.06 g/mol . It exhibits greater acidity (pKa ≈ 13.6) than allyl alcohol (pKa ≈ 15.5), attributed to the sp-hybridized carbon's electronegativity . The product demonstrates complete miscibility with water, ethanol, ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and pyridine, while being immiscible with aliphatic hydrocarbons .
Packaging and Transportation
