1,2-hexanediol is a colorless, viscous liquid with a faint odor. It is a chiral compound, existing as two enantiomers. 1,2-hexanediol is synthesized through the hydroformylation of 1-pentene, followed by hydrogenation and subsequent reduction with lithium aluminum hydride. It is used as a plasticizer, solvent, and intermediate in the production of other chemicals. 1,2-hexanediol has been shown to exhibit antifungal and antibacterial properties. It is also studied for its potential use as a biofuel. Research on 1,2-hexanediol focuses on its synthesis, characterization, and potential applications.'
