CAS 584-03-2

1,2-Butanediol

Description:

1,2-Butanediol, with the CAS number 584-03-2, is a colorless, viscous liquid that belongs to the class of diols, specifically glycols. It has two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located on the first and second carbon atoms of a four-carbon butane chain, which contributes to its hydrophilic properties. This compound is soluble in water and many organic solvents, making it versatile in various applications. 1,2-Butanediol is used as a solvent, in the production of plastics, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. It has a relatively low toxicity profile, but like many diols, it can cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. The compound has a moderate boiling point and a relatively high viscosity compared to other simple alcohols. Its chemical stability and ability to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and oxidation, make it valuable in both industrial and laboratory settings.
