Description

white solid


Pinacol is a white solid organic compound. It is a diol that has hydroxyl groups (-OH) on vicinal carbon atoms.


Pinacol is a glycol that is ethylene glycol in which all four methylene hydrogens have been replaced by methyl groups.


The pinacol coupling reaction with the inorganic electride [Ca2N](+)·e() as an electron donor in organic solvents was studied.


The hydrate is rendered anhydrous by azeotropic distillation of water with *benzene. Recrystallise it from *benzene or toluene/pet ether, absolute EtOH or dry diethyl ether. It recrystallises from water to give the hexahydrate. [Beilstein 1 IV 2575.]

Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Both the acute oral LD50value in rats and the acute dermal LD50value in rabbits exceeded 5 g/kg (Moreno, 1975). The acute oral LD50of pinacol for male albino mice was found to be 28-6 mmol/kg (Wenzel & Koff, 1956). Pinacol showed anticonvulsant activity for electroshock seizures and Metrazol convulsions; the PD 50 values (a measure of the protective dose) determined 15 min after oral administration of pinacol to mice were found to be 16-4 and 3-44 mmol/kg for electroshock and Metrazol convulsions, respectively (Wenzel & Koff, 1956).

Pinacol Use and Manufacturing

Uses

pinacol be used as organic intermediates.
The pinacol coupling reaction with the inorganic electride [Ca2N](+)·e(−) as an electron donor in organic solvents was studied.


Pinacol is used in the preparation of synthetic intermediates like pinacolborane, bis(pinacolato)diboron and pinacolchloroborane by reaction with boron trichloride. Further, it plays an important role as an intermediate for biologically active compounds like antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antituberculous.
