Propylene carbonate (often abbreviated PC) is an organic compound with the formula C4H6O3. It is a cyclic carbonate ester derived from propylene glycol.[4] This colorless and odorless liquid is useful as a polar, aprotic solvent.[5] Propylene carbonate is chiral, but is used as the racemic mixture in most contexts.
