Propylene Oxide (C3H6O) is a flammable chemical compound that comprises three carbon, six hydrogen, and one oxygen atom. Propylene Oxide is a volatile colourless liquid with a sweetish odor, like that of ether. It is an acutely toxic chemical commercially synthesized by reacting propylene with chlorine in water. It is then followed by dehydrochlorination of propylene chlorohydrin to obtain Propylene Oxide as the end-product.
Its melting and boiling points are measured around -111.9° C and 35° C, respectively. The compound contains an asymmetrical carbon atom, making it a reactive compound that readily allows the formation of other chemical compounds. It has wide-scale applications throughout the commercial market and is mainly associated with the polymers and chemical manufacturing industries.
