ChEBI ID: 52684
| Member | Definition | Role |
|---|---|---|
| 1,3-butylene glycol | A butanediol compound having two hydroxy groups in the 1- and 3-positions. | butane-1,3-diol |
| 1,4-butanediol | A butanediol that is butane in which one hydrogen of each of the methyl groups is substituted by a hydroxy group. A colourless, water-miscible, viscous liquid at room temperature (m.p. 16degreeC) with a high boiling point (230degreeC), it is mainly used for the production of other organic chemicals, particularly the solvent oxolane (also known as tetrahydrofuran or THF). | butane-1,4-diol |
| 2,3-butylene glycol | A butanediol in which hydroxylation is at C-2 and C-3. | butane-2,3-diol |
