Description

Application

1,2,6-Hexanetriol can be used as a reactant to synthesize:

• Unsaturated alcohols via rhenium-catalyzed deoxydehydration.
• Branched polyesters via melt polycondensation with dicarboxylic acids in the presence of tertrabutyl titanate as a catalyst.
• Shape memory polymer foams with enhanced degradation resistance.
• α-Hydroxyketones via catalytic selective oxidation of 1,2-diols.
• Primary tosylates via dibutyltin oxide-catalyzed tosylation with tosyl chloride.
