Introduction
Diethyl sebacate. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, manufacturing methods and safety information:
Quality:
- Diethyl sebacate is a colorless, scented liquid.
- The compound is insoluble in water but soluble in common organic solvents.
Use:
- Diethyl sebacate is commonly used as a solvent and is widely used in industrial fields such as coatings and inks.
- It is also used as a coating and encapsulation material to provide weather and chemical resistance.
- Diethyl sebacate can also be used as a raw material for antioxidants and flexible polyurethanes.
Method:
- Diethyl sebacate is usually prepared by the reaction of octanol with acetic anhydride.
- React octanol with an acid catalyst (e.g., sulfuric acid) to generate an activating intermediate of octanol.
- Then, acetic anhydride is added and esterified to produce diethyl sebacate.
Safety Information:
- Diethyl sebacate has low toxicity under normal conditions of use.
- However, it can enter the human body by inhalation, skin contact or ingestion, and its vapors should be avoided when used, skin contact should be avoided and ingestion should be avoided.
