Description

Hexamethylene glycol (HMG) is a diol compound with the formula HO(CH2)6OH. It is a colorless, viscous liquid that is soluble in water and organic solvents. HMG is used in the production of polyesters, polyamides, and other polymers. It is also used as a plasticizer, a solvent, and a reagent in chemical synthesis. HMG is produced by the hydrogenation of adipic acid or its esters. It is also produced by the hydroformylation of butadiene followed by hydrogenation. HMG is an important intermediate in the production of nylon 6,6, a synthetic fiber. It is also used in the production of other polymers, such as polyurethane and polyesters. HMG is a valuable reagent in organic synthesis, and it is used to prepare a variety of other compounds, including cyclic ethers, esters, and amides. HMG is also being studied for its potential use in the production of biodegradable plastics and biofuels.'

ClassDescription
diolA compound that contains two hydroxy groups, generally assumed to be, but not necessarily, alcoholic. Aliphatic diols are also called glycols.
primary alcoholA primary alcohol is a compound in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom which has either three hydrogen atoms attached to it or only one other carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms attached to it.
