Application

1,2-Propanediol has been used:for removing excess Oil Red O stain in zebrafish larvaein the preparation of alginate hydrogelsfor the dissolution of androstenonefor the calibration of cone beam scanner in computed tomography

General description

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.
