1,2-Butanediol is the organic compound with the formula HOCH2(HO)CHCH2CH3. It is classified as a vic-diol (glycol. It is chiral, although typically it is encountered as the racemic mixture. It is a colorless liquid.

Preparation

It is produced industrially by hydration of the 1,2-expoxybutane.[4][5]

1,2-Butanediol is a byproduct of the production of 1,4-butanediol from butadiene,[6] It is also a byproduct of the catalytic hydrocracking of starches and sugars such as sorbitol to ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.[7]

This diol was first described by Charles-Adolphe Wurtz in 1859.[8]

Applications

It has been patented for the production of polyester resins and plasticizers.[5][6] It is a potential feedstock for the industrial production of α-ketobutyric acid, a precursor to some amino acids.[9]

Safety

The LD50 (rats, oral) is 16g/kg.[4]

Notes

  1. ^ The value of −50 °C for the melting point is taken from Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry and used by the Hazardous Substances Data Bank and the OECD Screening Information Dataset. Other reported values of the melting point range from −114 °C to −30 °C.
