Description and Uses
3-Hexyne-2,5-diol is a more or less solid yellow mass of crystals depending on the relative content of the meso form. It is miscible with water and polar solvents. 3-Hexyne-2,5-diol is produced by BASF from acetylene and acetaldehyde by the Reppe ethynylation method.
3-Hexyne-2,5-diol is used in the synthesis of hyperbrancehed poly([1,2,3]-triazoles. Also used in the synthesis of pyrazoles and thiopyrazoles.
