Ethylene Glycol, known chemically as ethylene glycol or 1,2-ethylene glycol (EG), bears the chemical formula (CH2OH)2. As a quintessential diol, it stands out as a colorless, odorless liquid offering a sweet taste and low animal toxicity. Its versatility extends to being fully miscible with water and acetone, though less soluble in ethers. Esteemed for its multifaceted applications, Ethylene Glycol functions as a solvent, antifreeze, and a crucial precursor in polyester synthesis. Moreover, its polymer, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), acts as a phase transfer catalyst and aids in cell fusion, while its nitrate ester version is recognized for its explosive properties.
