3-Methoxy-1-propanol can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and a pharmaceutical chemical reagent. It can be applied to the modification and derivatization of drug molecules and bioactive molecules. For example, 3-Methoxy-1-propanol can be used in the synthesis of the drug molecule rabeprazole. Rabeprazole is suitable for peptic ulcers, reflux esophagitis and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It has an inhibitory effect on both basal gastric acid and gastric acid secretion caused by stimulation.
3-Methoxy-1-propanol is a primary alcohol. Kinetics of the reactions of 3-methoxy-1-propanol with phenyl isocyanate in the presence of metal catalysts has been reported. Selective synthesis of 3-methoxy-1-propanol from methanol and allyl alcohol with metal oxides and zeolites catalysts in the liquid phase has been studied.
