Methyl pentandiol bis-cyanoethyl ether from diol and acrylonitrile - is used as polar solvent, mineral or propellant additive and intermediate

摘要

New 3-methyl-pentan-2,5-diol-bis(2-cyanoethyl) ether is of formula NC-(CH2)2-O-(CH2)2-CH(CH3)-(CH2)2-O-(CH2)2-CN (I) (I) is an intermediate in the prodn. of the corresponding diamine which in turn can be used to prepare epoxy resins and polyurethanes. (I) is also useful as a polar solvent and an additive for minerals and propellants. (I) is made by reaction of 2 mols acrylonitrile and 3-methyl-penta-1,5-diol.
