Isobutanol
Isobutanol, flammable, irritating, colorless transparent liquid, with special odor, boiling point 107 ° C, spontaneous combustion point 426.6 ° C, slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether.
Function and use
Used as a raw material for organic synthesis and as a solvent.
Used as analytical reagents, chromatographic reagents, solvents and extractants.
Isobutanol is an organic synthetic raw material mainly used in the synthesis of dipyridinium intermediate isobutyronitrile in pesticides.
Extraction solvent. GB 2760-2014 provides for the use of edible flavors, code: S0005; FEMA number: 2179.
Organic synthetic raw materials. Used in the manufacture of petroleum additives, antioxidants, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, isobutyl acetate (coating solvent), plasticizers, synthetic rubber, artificial musk, fruit essential oils and synthetic drugs. It can also be used to purify salt chemicals such as barium, strontium and lithium and as a solvent.
Solvent. Extracting agent. Lithium chloride is extracted from a mixture of lithium chloride and sodium chloride or potassium to separate cesium bromide and cesium bromide. Determination of calcium, barium, strontium, sodium, potassium, lithium, silver, chlorine and phosphite. Organic Synthesis.
It is used as a cosolvent for nitrocellulose, a solvent for ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, various oils, rubber, and natural resins. Organic synthetic raw materials. It has a limited range of applications and must not be used to make agricultural plastics because isobutanol can cause crop deaths. [4]
