Application

2-Propanol may be used as a solvent in the preparation of cyclic ureas by reacting carbon dioxide with diamines in the presence of pure cerium oxide (CeO2).[1] It may also be used as an alternate precursor to acetone for synthesizing methyl isobutyl ketone.[2]

Other Notes

Pure-Pac® II containers require the Micromatic MicroValve coupler for dispensing solvents, Z560723.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. Hi, I am looking for anhydrous 2-propanol to use in glovebox . Could you please recommend whether this should be fine?

    1 answer
    1. This product is packaged under nitrogen and is in Sure/Seal to ensure the water content remains very low. This material can be brought into a glove box with the proper care. It is essential to follow appropriate dispensing procedures when handling air-sensitive products. To assist you in this, please consult “Technical Bulletin AL-134: Handling Air-Sensitive Reagents.
