Basic physical properties
Molecular weight: 102.13
Boiling point: 101.6 °C
Density: 0.887 g/cm³ (20 °C)
Refractive index: n²⁰ᴅ ≈ 1.384
Solubility: Solubility in water is approximately 1.5 g/100 mL (20 °C); miscible with ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone, esters, and most resins
Flash point: 14 °C (closed cup); classified as a flammable liquid (Category 2/3); vapor explosion limits approximately 1.7%–8% v/v
Vapor pressure: Approximately 3.3 kPa at 20 °C; evaporation rate is slower than that of ethyl acetate but faster than that of amyl acetate
Primary Uses
Solvents: Coatings, inks, adhesives, nitrocellulose, and acrylic resins; offers better leveling and slower evaporation than ethyl acetate, making it suitable for medium-drying film systems.
Extractants: Fragrances, essential oils, and the purification of pharmaceutical intermediates.
Organic synthesis: Production of propanol derivatives and specialty esters.
Fragrances: Used in trace amounts for fruity-type fragrances (though less than isoamyl acetate or hexyl acetate).
Safety and Physiology
Toxicity: Low toxicity. Oral LD₅₀ (rat) ≈ 9.5 g/kg; vapors cause mild mucosal irritation, and high concentrations induce dizziness and nausea; liquid contact with eyes causes slight irritation.
Skin: Causes defatting; prolonged contact leads to dryness.
Storage and Transport: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at temperatures ≤ 30°C; use explosion-proof facilities; store separately from oxidizing agents and strong acids/bases.
