1-Butanol is a primary alcohol with a 4-carbon structure and the molecular formula C₄H₁₀O. Its isomers include isobutanol, 2-butanol, and tert-butanol.
1-Butanol is an intermediate in the production of butyl acrylate, butyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate dibutyl sebacate and other butyl esters, butyl ethers such as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, di- and triethylene glycol monobutyl ether and the corresponding butyl ether acetates. Other industrial uses include the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, polymers, pyroxylin plastics, herbicide esters (e.g., 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T) and butyl xanthate. It is also used as a diluent/reactant in the manufacture of urea–formaldehyde and melamine–formaldehyde resins.
