What is 2-Methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol?
Description
2-Methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol is produced either by the salt-free procedure based on aldol addition followed by hydrogenation or by the classical combination of hydroxymethylation and Cannizzaro-type disproportionation with formaldehyde. The production costs are considerably higher than for neopentyl glycol, because the synthesis of 2-methylpentanal from propanal requires two additional steps: aldol condensation and hydrogenation.

The Uses of 2-Methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol
2-Methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol is mainly used in pharmaceutical applications such as production of dicarbamates. Meprobamate (2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate), is used as an anxiolytic drug (tranquilizer). Carisoprodol (N-isopropyl-2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate), possesses strong centrally-acting muscle relaxant activity.
