1-Butanol, also known as butan-1-ol or n-butanol, is a primary alcohol with the chemical formula C4H9OH and a linear structure. Isomers of 1-butanol are isobutanol, butan-2-ol and tert-butanol. The unmodified term butanol usually refers to the straight chain isomer.

1-Butanol occurs naturally as a minor product of the ethanol fermentation of sugars and other saccharides and is present in many foods and drinks. It is also a permitted artificial flavorant in the United States, used in butter, cream, fruit, rum, whiskey, ice cream and ices, candy, baked goods, and cordials. It is also used in a wide range of consumer products.

Industrial use

Constituting 85% of its use, 1-butanol is mainly used in the production of varnishes. It is a popular solvent, e.g. for nitrocellulose. A variety of butyl esters are used as solvents, e.g. butoxyethanol. Many plasticizers are based on butyl esters, e.g., dibutyl phthalate. The monomer butyl acrylate is used to produce polymers. It is the precursor to n-butylamines.

Application 1: It is used in the production of butyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate, phosphoric acids plasticizer, melamine resin, acrylic acids, epoxy varnish, etc.

Application 2:It is mainly used in the production of phthalic acid, aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and phosphoric acids n-butyl ester plasticizer. They are widely used in various plastic and rubber products. It is also the raw material of butyraldehyde, butyric acid, butylamine and butyl lactate in organic synthesis. Or oil, drugs (such as antibiotics, hormones and vitamins) and spices extractant, alkyd resin coating additives. It can also be used as solvent and dewaxing agent for organic dyes and printing inks.

Application 3:As a solvent, it can be used to separate potassium perchlorates and sodium perchlorates, as well as sodium chloride and lithium chloride. It is used to wash the precipitation of sodium uranyl zinc acetate. In colorimetric determination, the molybdate method is used for the determination of arsenics acid. Determination of fat in milk, medium of saponification ester. Paraffin embedded materials were prepared for microscopic analysis. Used as solvent for fat, wax, resin, shellac, gum, etc.
