Product Introduction:

1,3-Bis(2-Hydroxyethoxy)Benzene is a versatile aromatic diol derivative. It consists of a benzene ring substituted at the 1 and 3 positions with two 2-hydroxyethoxy groups. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid.

This compound is highly valued as a bifunctional monomer and intermediate due to the presence of two reactive hydroxyl groups and a rigid resorcinol-derived aromatic core. This structure makes it suitable for various polymerization reactions and for introducing specific functionalities into organic molecules.

Main Uses:

1. Polymer Synthesis (Monomer): It is primarily used as a monomer in the synthesis of high-performance polymers. The two hydroxyl groups can participate in polycondensation reactions, such as the formation of polyesters, polycarbonates, polyurethanes, and epoxy resins. Polymers derived from this compound often exhibit enhanced thermal stability, mechanical strength, and optical properties.

2. Pharmaceutical Intermediates: The resorcinol scaffold and the hydroxyl-terminated ether chains provide reactive sites, making it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical active ingredients (APIs). It can be further functionalized or incorporated into complex drug molecules.

3. Specialty Chemicals: It serves as a building block for other high-value specialty chemicals, including some dyes, light stabilizers, and antioxidants, where the resorcinol structure is a desired moiety.

4. Electronic Materials: Due to the aromatic core and its potential for forming stable polymers, it can be explored in the development of electronic materials, such as substrates or encapsulants, where specific dielectric or thermal properties are required.

5. Organic Synthesis: In general organic synthesis, the two primary hydroxyl groups can be selectively protected or derivatized (e.g., esterification, etherification) to introduce various functionalities into more complex molecules.
