Description

Butanol (also called Butyl Alcohol) is a four-carbon alcohol with a formula of C4H9OH, which occurs in five isomeric Structures (four structural isomers), from a straight-chain primary alcohol to a branched-chain tertiary alcohol; all are a butyl or isobutyl group linked to a hydroxyl group (sometimes represented as BuOH, n-BuOH, i-BuOH, and t-BuOH). These are n-butanol, 2 stereoisomers of sec-butanol, isobutanol and tert-butanol. Butanol is primarily used as a solvent and as an Intermediate in chemical synthesis, and may be used as a fuel.
