Isobutanol (IUPAC nomenclature: 2-methylpropan-1-ol) is an organic compound with the formula (CH3)2CHCH2OH. This colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic smell is mainly used as a solvent. Its isomers include n-butanol, 2-butanol, and tert-butanol, all of which are more important industrially.
Isobutanol is produced by the carbonylation of propylene. Two methods are practiced industrially, hydroformylation is more common and generates a mixture of normal and isobutyraldehydes, which are hydrogenated to the alcohols and then separated. Reppe carbonylation is also practiced
Isobutanol has a variety of technical and industrial applications:
feedstock in the manufacture of isobutyl acetate, which is used in the production of lacquer and similar coatings, and in the food industry as a flavouring agent
precursor of derivative esters; isobutyl esters such as diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) are used as plasticizer agents in plastics, rubbers, and other dispersions
paint solvent
varnish remover
ink ingredient
paint additive, to reduce viscosity, improve brush flow, and retard formation of oil residues (blush) on painted surfaces
gasoline additive, to reduce carburetor icing
automotive polish additive
automotive paint cleaner additive
chemical extractant in production of organic compounds
mobile phase in thin layer chromatography.
