3,3-Dimethyl-1,2-butanediol

Description:

3,3-Dimethyl-1,2-butanediol, with the CAS number 59562-82-2, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a butane backbone that is further substituted with two methyl groups at the third carbon. This compound is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds. It exhibits properties typical of diols, including the ability to act as a solvent and a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. The presence of multiple methyl groups contributes to its hydrophobic character, influencing its physical properties such as boiling point and viscosity. 3,3-Dimethyl-1,2-butanediol is used in various applications, including as a chemical intermediate in the production of other compounds and in formulations requiring specific viscosity and solubility characteristics. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
