Cas no 57-57-8 (b-Propiolactone)

Technical Introduction: β-Propiolactone β-Propiolactone (BPL) is a highly reactive cyclic ester (C?H?O?) widely used as a sterilizing and alkylating agent in pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. Its key advantages include potent virucidal and bactericidal properties, making it effective for inactivating pathogens in vaccines and biological products. BPL hydrolyzes rapidly in aqueous solutions, minimizing residual toxicity, and its small molecular size ensures thorough penetration. It is also employed as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for acrylate derivatives. Due to its reactivity, handling requires strict safety measures. BPL’s efficiency and degradability make it a preferred choice for controlled sterilization processes in sensitive applications.
