Chemical Properties
clear colorless liquid
Uses
Extractant and solvent for oils, fats, waxes,dyestuffs, and cellulose derivatives.
Uses
2-Methyl-1,3-dioxolane is used in method for treating biodegradation of organic chlorine compounds using 1,4-Dioxane-degrading bacterium N23 strain.
General Description
The kinetics and mechanism of the gas-phase thermal decomposition of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane has been studied in a static system. The infrared spectra of solid, liquid and gaseous 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane has been studied. Low-temperature ozonation of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane in acetone-
d6, methyl acetate and
tert-butyl methyl ether has been reported.
