Ethylene carbonate CAS:96-49-1 is the organic compound with the formula (CH2O)2CO. It is classified as the carbonate ester of ethylene glycol and carbonic acid. At room temperature (25 °C) ethylene carbonate is a transparent crystalline solid, practically odorless and colorless, and somewhat soluble in water.
In the liquid state (m.p. 34-37 °C) it is a colorless odorless liquid.

Application of EC
1.Ethylene carbonate is used as a polar solvent with a molecular dipole moment of 4.9 D,only 0.1 D lower than that of propylene carbonate. It can be used as a high permittivity component ofelectrolytes in lithium batteries.
2.Ethylene carbonate is also used as plasticizer, and as a precursor to vinylene carbonate, which is used in polymers and in organic synthesis.
3.The reaction between Ethylene carbonate and benzylamine gave Buramate, a carbamate based anticonvulsant & tranquilizer.
4.It is for the synthesis of furazolidone (C8H7N3O5, [67-45-8];
this is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent for the prevention of coccidiosis of chickens. And also used as fiber finishing agent and other processing aids
