2-Propanol is a common solvent in academic and industrial research laboratories, yet awareness around its classification as a Group B peroxide-forming solvent is lacking. Because of this deficiency, there have been several reports of explosions occurring during the distillation of 2-propanol that have resulted in injury to researchers. This Perspective discusses the historical literature around 2-propanol as a peroxide former and the potential for quality and safety hazard issues that come from trace peroxides in the solvent. Furthermore, the likelihood of peroxide formation in laboratory samples of 2-propanol is discussed with emphasis on the type of storage conditions.

重新考虑与 2-丙醇中过氧化物形成相关的安全危害

2-丙醇是学术和工业研究实验室中的常用溶剂，但对其分类为 B 组过氧化物形成溶剂缺乏认识。由于这一缺陷，有几起关于 2-丙醇蒸馏过程中发生爆炸导致研究人员受伤的报告。本观点讨论了有关 2-丙醇作为过氧化物形成剂的历史文献，以及溶剂中痕量过氧化物可能导致的质量和安全隐患问题。此外，还讨论了 2-丙醇实验室样品中形成过氧化物的可能性，重点是储存条件的类型。
