Features Of Eastman Propionic Anhydride

  1. High-purity reagent grade with consistent batch-to-batch performance for reliable synthesis outcomes.

  2. Superior reactivity in acylation and esterification reactions compared to alternative propionylating agents.

  3. Low water content (<0.1%) minimizes hydrolysis side reactions and enhances shelf life under proper storage.

  4. Controlled volatility and handling characteristics support safe integration into continuous and batch processes.

  5. Manufactured under strict Eastman quality systems, compliant with ISO 9001 and REACH requirements.

Typical Applications Of Eastman Propionic Anhydride

  1. Synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, including propionylated heterocycles and prodrug derivatives.

  2. Production of cellulose propionate and other propionated biopolymers for specialty films and coatings.

  3. Preparation of flavor and fragrance esters (e.g., propyl propionate) via catalyzed esterification.

  4. Chemical modification of amines and alcohols in agrochemical active ingredient synthesis.

  5. Use as a dehydrating agent and acyl donor in fine chemical manufacturing processes.
