Isobutanol

Description:
Isobutanol, also known as 2-methyl-1-propanol, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic alcohol odor. It is an isomer of butanol and has the chemical formula C4H10O. Isobutanol is soluble in water and is often used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paints, coatings, and adhesives. It is also utilized as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals and as a fuel additive due to its ability to enhance octane ratings. The substance has a relatively low boiling point and a moderate vapor pressure, which contributes to its volatility. Isobutanol can be produced through several methods, including fermentation and petrochemical processes. In terms of safety, it is classified as a flammable liquid and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon exposure. Proper handling and storage are essential to mitigate risks associated with its flammability and potential health effects.
