Description and Uses

1,2-Hexanediol is a linear aliphatic diol with a carbon chain length containing six carbons. It is a synthetic preservative and moisture-binding agent belonging to a class of agents known as higher molecular glycols. It is considered non-sensitizing. It is ideal for use as an emollient, humectant, and wetting agent in cosmetic and skin care products.

DL-1,2-Hexanediol is a solvent used to dissolve other compounds in a formulation. It can be used in the ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis of oxazolidin-2-ones from urea. It can undergo ruthenium-hydride catalyzed dehydrative coupling with anilines to form substituted indole and quinoline products.
