  2. Butanol - Wikipedia

    • The unmodified term butanol usually refers to the straight chain isomer with the alcohol functional group at the terminal carbon, which is also known as 1-butanol. The straight chain isomer with the alcohol at an internal carbon is sec-butyl alcohol or 2-butanol. The branched isomer with the alcohol at a terminal carbon is isobutanol or 2-methyl-1-propanol, an… See more

    Overview

    Butanol (also called butyl alcohol) is a four-carbon alcohol with a formula of C4H9OH, which occurs in five isomeric structures … See more

    Toxicity

    Butanol exhibits a low order of toxicity in single dose experiments with laboratory animals and is considered safe enough for use in cosmetics. Brief, repeated overexposure with the skin can result in depression … See more

    Uses

    Butanol is used as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical and textile processes, in organic synthesis, and as a chemical intermediate. It is also used as a paint thinner and a solvent in other coating application… See more

    Recreational use

    2-Methyl-2-butanol is a central nervous system depressant with a similar effect upon ingestion to ethanol. Case reports have been documented demonstrating its potential for abuse. See more

    The straight chain isomer with the alcohol at an internal carbon is sec -butyl alcohol or 2-butanol. The branched isomer with the alcohol at a terminal carbon is isobutanol or 2-methyl-1-propanol, and the branched isomer with the alcohol at the internal carbon is tert -butyl alcohol or 2-methyl-2-propanol.

    Butanol is a 4-carbon, flammable liquid (at times solid) alcohol which has 4 possible isomers, n-butanol, sec-butanol, isobutanol and tert-butanol. Its four-link hydrocarbon chain is long, and as such, it is fairly non-polar.

    The number on the compound represents the lowest-numbered carbon on which the functional group is located. Similarly, butanol also displays positional isomerism, namely, 1-butanol and 2-butanol. However, it is not restricted to these two isomers only. It has two skeletal isomers – 2-methyl-1-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol.

    Isomers of 1-butanol are isobutanol, butan-2-ol and tert -butanol.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Butanol
    Its structural isomers are 1-butanol, isobutanol, and tert -butanol. 2-Butanol is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)- (−)-butan-2-ol and (S)- (+)-butan-2-ol.
