Research Summary
1,2-Alkanediol is a type of organic compound characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (–OH) groups attached to a straight-chain alkane, specifically at the first and second carbon atoms. This class of diols includes various compounds with different carbon chain lengths, such as 1,2-ethanediol (ethylene glycol), 1,2-propanediol (propylene glycol), and longer-chain versions like 1,2-butanediol and 1,2-pentanediol. These compounds are commonly used in a variety of applications, including as solvents, humectants, and intermediates in chemical synthesis. In the cosmetics and personal care industry, 1,2-alkanediols are valued for their moisturizing properties, helping to retain moisture in formulations. Additionally, they are utilized in the food industry as food additives and in pharmaceuticals for their stability and compatibility with other ingredients. Overall, 1,2-alkanediols play an important role in multiple sectors, providing functionality and enhancing product performance.
