Toxicological data
1. Acute toxicity: Rat LD50: 1400mg/Kg; mouse mouth LD50: 1900mg/kg
Rat via leather LD50: 2000mg/kg
2. Irritation data: Skin – 500 mg for rabbits, mild; Eyes – 20 mg for rabbits, severe
3. It is of low toxicity. The vapor pressure is low at room temperature, so poisoning by inhaling the vapor is unlikely. Inhalation of large doses causes deep anesthesia. It is also less irritating to the skin and mucous membranes and is generally regarded as a harmless drug. Guinea pig oral LD50: 4.2mL/kg.

Properties and stability
Avoid contact with strong oxidants, strong reducing agents, strong acids, acid chlorides, and acid anhydrides. Flammable liquid, non-corrosive to metals. Contains asymmetric carbon atoms, has optical isomers, and also has the chemical properties of general glycols.
Storage method
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃. They should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, acids, and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials. Can be stored in iron, mild steel, copper or aluminum containers.
Synthesis method
1. First, butyraldehyde is synthesized from propylene. Under the catalysis of alkali or acid, butyraldehyde condenses itself to form 2-ethyl-3-hydroxyhexanal. This compound is very unstable. After hydrogenation, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol is obtained.
2. Preparation method:
2-Ethyl-3-hydroxyhexanal (3): In a reaction bottle equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and dropping funnel, add 260g (3.6mol0) of n-hexanal (3) and 150mL of diethyl ether. Cool to -3°C in the ice-salt bath, and begin to add 30 mL (10%) of potassium aldehyde oxide solution dropwise. The dripping should be slow at the beginning to prevent the temperature from exceeding 8°C. It takes about 3 hours to complete. After the addition is complete, the reaction is stirred for 5 hours. The organic layer was separated, washed three times with water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Recover the diethyl ether and distill off the low boiling matter under reduced pressure to obtain 200-220g of crude product 2-ethyl-3-hydroxyhexanal (3). 2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol (1): In a reaction bottle equipped with a stirrer and a reflux condenser, add 33g (1.2mol) aluminum chips, 300mL anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, and add 0.1g iodine , heating in a water bath, generates aluminum isopropoxide, and releases a large amount of hydrogen. When most of the aluminum participates in the reaction, add 300 mL of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol. Reflux for 6 hours to complete the reaction. The reaction system is dark gray. After cooling, add the 2-ethyl-3-hydroxyhexanal (3) prepared previously, install a packed fractionating column, and continuously evaporate the acetone generated. As the reaction proceeds, acetone gradually evaporates and isopropanol evaporates until the temperature at the top of the column reaches 80°C (at this time it is isopropanol and can be recycled and reused). Cool and adjust to weak acidity with 15% sulfuric acid, and oily matter will precipitate. Separate the oil, wash it with water three times, dry it over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then perform fractional distillation. Collect the fractions at 238-242°C to obtain 60g of 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol (1), with a yield of 23%. [1]
