Description

Application
It is used in pharmaceutical formulations food processing and cosmetic products as a solvent humectant and stabilizer. It is also applied in chemical synthesis as a chiral building block.

Purpose
The purpose of (S)-()-12-Propanediol is to act as a safe carrier and moisture-retaining agent in formulations while also serving as a stereochemically defined intermediate for producing enantiomerically pure compounds.

General Description
(S)-()-12-Propanediol is the optically active (chiral) form of propylene glycol a colorless viscous hygroscopic liquid. It has two hydroxyl groups and is fully miscible with water and many organic solvents.
