NCIt synonyms : 1,3-Propane Sultone; gamma-Propane Sultone; 3-Hydroxy-1-propanesulfonic Acid gamma-Sultone; 1,2-Oxathiolane 2,2-Dioxide;
NCIt definition : A synthetic, colorless liquid or white crystalline solid that is readily soluble in
water and many organic solvents such as ketones, esters and aromatic hydrocarbons.
1,3-propanesultone is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of detergents,
dyes, lathering agents, bacteriostats, fungicides, insecticides, cation-exchange resins,
corrosion inhibitors and vulcanization accelerators. When heated to decomposition,
it emits toxic fumes of sulfur oxides. Humans are potentially exposed to residues
of 1,3-propane sultone when using products manufactured from this compound. The primary
routes of potential human exposure to 1,3-propane sultone are ingestion and inhalation.
Contact with this chemical can cause mild irritation of the eyes and skin. It is reasonably
anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
