Application

1,3-Propanediol can be used as:
  • A solvent as well as stabilizer in the preparation of thin films.
  • A monomer to synthesize various polyesters such as poly(propylene terephthalate) (PPT), poly(propylene isophthalate) (PPI), and poly(propylene naphthalate) by polycondensation reaction with terephthalic, isophthalic, and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid.
  • A reactant to prepare 7,8-benzoquinoline by IrCl3 catalyzed cyclization reaction with 1-naphthylamine.
