Ethylene glycol is an organic compound with the formula 2. It is the simplest vicinal diol. It is mainly used for two purposes: as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifre
Diol
…They are used as protecting groups of carbonyl groups, making them essential in synthesis of organic chemistry. The most common industrial diol is ethylene glycol. Examples of diols in which the hydroxyl functional groups are more widely separated include 1,4-butanediol HO−(CH2)4−OH and propylene-1,3-diol, or…
