Diethylene glycol (CAS 111-46-6)
QUICK LINKS
Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a versatile organic compound with various applications. It is formed as a side product during the esterification reaction of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol. Diethylene glycol readily forms complexes with 3d transition metal cations in the presence of alkaline hydroxide, making it useful in antifreeze and lubricating applications. The oxidative degradation of Diethylene glycol with ozone by a modified Fenton process has been studied. Physically, Diethylene glycol is a colorless liquid that is primarily used in the manufacture of other chemicals. It is denser than water and can be formed as a side product during the ester interchange of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol or direct esterification of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol. Diethylene glycol is employed as a comonomer in the synthesis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and can undergo oxidation when treated with nitric acid. Its toxicity has been extensively assessed, and studies have investigated its ozonation and modified Fenton oxidation.
