A chemical compound or functional group containing two propyl radicals (organic groups derived from propane with three carbon atoms).
From di- (two) + propyl (from prop- short for propane, from Latin propylaeum meaning gateway, originally relating to architectural terminology). A chemistry term for carbon chains.
Dipropyl compounds show up in everyday products—dipropyl phthalate used to be in children's toys, but was banned after scientists realized it might interfere with development!
