1,2,3-Butanetriol

Description:
1,2,3-Butanetriol, also known as trimethylolpropane, is a triol with the molecular formula C4H10O3. It is characterized by the presence of three hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a four-carbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophilic nature and solubility in water. This compound is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and has a slightly sweet taste. It is primarily used in the production of polyurethanes, resins, and as a humectant in various cosmetic formulations. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups allows for extensive hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties such as boiling point and viscosity. Additionally, 1,2,3-butanetriol can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and etherification, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Its safety profile indicates low toxicity, but standard precautions should be taken when handling the substance. Overall, 1,2,3-butanetriol is an important chemical in both industrial and consumer applications.
