| 2-ETHYL-1-BUTANOL Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | clear colorless to slightly yellowish liquid | | Chemical Properties | Ethylbutanol is a colorless liquid with a mild,
alcoholic odor. | | Uses | It is used as a perfuming agent in cosmetics industry. 2-Ethyl-1-butanol is used for the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, such as novel branched Alkyl carbamates, acting as anticonvulsant agent. It is also a solvent used for various organic synthesis, separation processes and ionic liquids, and solvent mixtures for pharmaceutical applications . It is also used to make penetrating oils, corrosion inhibitors, plasticizers, and perfumes; as cleaning agent for printed circuits; and to improve flow of paints and varnishes. | | Uses | Solvent for oils, resins, waxes, dyes; diluent;
synthesis of perfumes, drugs; flavoring. | | Production Methods | 2-Ethylbutanol can be prepared commercially by the aldol
condensation of acetaldehyde and 1-butanal and subsequent
hydrogenation. | | General Description | Flash point of 137°F. Less dense than water and slightly soluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air. Used as a solvent and in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. | | Air & Water Reactions | Flammable. Slightly soluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols, such as 2-ETHYL-1-BUTANOL, with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. Alcohols react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. | | Hazard | Moderate fire risk. | | Health Hazard | Liquid causes eye burns. Vapors may be mildly irritating to nose and throat. | | Fire Hazard | HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by
ingestion and sktn contact. A skin and
severe eye irritant. Flammable liquid when
exposed to heat or flame; can react with
oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use dry
chemical, CO2, foam, fog. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes. See also ALCOHOLS. | | Potential Exposure | Used as a solvent; for making dyes,
perfumes, flavorings, and drugs | | Shipping | UN2275 Ethylbutanol, Hazard Class: 3; Labels:
3-Flammable liquid | | Purification Methods | Dry it with CaSO4 for several days, filter and fractionally distil it. [Beilstein 1 IV 1725.] | | Incompatibilities | May form explosive mixture with air.
Incompatible with oxidizers, strong acids; caustics, isocyanates, amines, isocyanates. | | Waste Disposal | Incineration by spraying or in
paper packaging. Flammable solvent may be added. |
