 Monoacetin (CAS NO.26446-35-5) is also named as 1,2,3-Propanetriol, monoacetate ; AI3-24158 ; Acetin ; Acetin, mono- ; Acetoglyceride ; Acetyl monoglyceride ; CCRIS 5881 ; Glycerin monoacetate ; Glycerine monoacetate ; Glycerol acetate ; Glycerol monoacetate ; Glyceryl acetate ; Glyceryl monoacetate ; HSDB 4285 ; Mono-acetin . Monoacetin (CAS NO.26446-35-5) is clear colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid with a characteristic odor. It is very hygroscopic and soluble in water. Monoacetin may hydrolyze in acid or alkaline aqueous solutions. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. They exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Monoacetin is probably combustible.
