Propylene carbonate (PC) is a highly versatile solvent. This colorless, odorless, and non-toxic liquid is a cyclic ether. Notably, it is non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-corrosive. With its high boiling point, low freezing point, and low viscosity, propylene carbonate offers valuable versatility. Furthermore, it boasts a low vapor pressure and excellent miscibility with numerous organic solvents. In the realm of scientific research, propylene carbonate has found extensive use. It serves as a solvent for polymer preparation and as a reaction medium for organic compound synthesis. Moreover, it has been employed in the production of nanomaterials. Additionally, propylene carbonate plays a role in the extraction of proteins and lipids.
