2-Butanol (CAS 78-92-2)

2-Butanol, also referred to as sec-butanol or 2-methyl-1-propanol, falls under the category of short-chain alcohols in organic compounds. This transparent and colorless liquid possesses water solubility and emits a distinct scent. Its flammability and toxicity make it a substance of caution, finding widespread use in various industrial and commercial sectors. In scientific investigations, 2-Butanol serves as a solvent, enabling the dissolution of diverse substances for separation and analysis purposes. It acts as a surfactant, effectively reducing the surface tension of aqueous solutions and facilitating their mixing. In the realm of scientific research and various industries, 2-Butanol demonstrates its versatility and utility through its properties and diverse applications.
