General description

1-Phenoxy-2-propanol (PP), a gycol ether, can be synthesized by reacting propylene oxide with phenol in the presence of Al2O3-MgO/Fe3O4 catalyst. The influence of its anesthetic property on gastropods has been analyzed. Its degradation by microorganisms in different soil types has been investigated.

Application

1-Phenoxy-2-propanol has been used as an additive to saline to induce anesthetic effect on the peripheral tissues isolated from Biomphalaria alexandrina prior to fixation.
