Isobutanol, also known as 2-methylpropan-1-ol or 2-methyl-1-propanol is an organic chemical compound, with many uses in industry and chemistry. It is an isomer of butanol and has the formula (CH3)2(CH)CH2OH.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Isobutanol will burn in open air, but due to its high flash point of 28 °C, it will only ignite at standard conditions if heated prior.
Physical
Isobutanol is a colorless viscous liquid, with a strong characteristic odor. It is poorly soluble in water (8.7 mL/100 mL), but miscible with many organic solvents such as acetone or ethanol. It has a boiling point of 107.89 °C and a melting point of −108 °C.
Availability
Isobutanol is available at hardware stores as wood paint drying accelerator (acid-curing parquet lacquer/varnish) or as parquet adhesive. The former generally contains HCl, which require neutralization, while the latter does not, but both may have various additives in their composition, so distillation is required to obtain a pure compound.
Preparation
Isobutanol can be prepared by hydrolyzing isobutyl chloride with NaOH, followed by neutralization of base with an excess of sodium bicarbonate, followed by separation, drying with MgSO4 and lastly distillation.
Isobutanol however is much cheaper to buy that synthesize.
Projects
- Make isobutyl acetate
- Make p-xylene[1]
- Car fuel
Handling
Safety
Isobutanol is the least toxic isomer of butanol. Its strong odor however may cause nausea or dizziness.
Storage
Should be stored in closed bottles away from any heat source.
Disposal
Isobutanol can be safely burned, though due to its high flash point, it should be mixed with a more flammable solvent and then burned. Do this outside.
