Pentaerythritol is the
organic compound with the
formula C(CH
2OH)
4. This white, crystalline
polyol is a versatile building block for the preparation of many polyfunctionalized compounds such as the explosive
PETN and pentaerythritol triacrylate. Derivatives of pentaerythritol are components of
alkyd resins,
varnishes,
PVC stabilizers,
tall oil esters, and
olefin antioxidants.
Preparation
It can be prepared by condensation of
acetaldehyde and
formaldehyde in a
basic environment. The process occurs by successive
aldol reactions followed by a
Cannizzaro reaction. Impurities include dipentaerythritol and tripentaerythritol.
