butanol VS isobutanol
what is butanol (cas 71-36-3)?
Butanol includes n-butanol (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH) and isobutanol (CH₃CH(CH₃)CH₂OH), which are structural isomers. They can be distinguished using Lucas reagent: n-butanol remains clear at room temperature but slowly becomes cloudy upon heating, while isobutanol slowly becomes cloudy at room temperature.
what is Isobutyl Alcohol (CAS 78-83-1)?
Isobutyl Alcohol, also known as 2-Methylpropanol, is an organic synthesis raw material used to manufacture petroleum additives, antioxidants (2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol), isobutyric acid esters (paint solvents), plasticizers, synthetic rubber, artificial musk, fruit essential oils, and synthetic pharmaceuticals. It is also employed in purifying chemical reagents such as strontium, barium, and lithium salts, and serves as a high-grade solvent. It is permitted as a food flavoring agent under GB 2760-2014.
