Description

2-Butanol is a secondary alcohol with the formula CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3. It is a colorless liquid that is miscible with water. It is a chiral molecule, meaning it exists in two enantiomeric forms: (R)-2-butanol and (S)-2-butanol. 2-Butanol can be synthesized by the hydration of 2-butene, or by the reduction of 2-butanone. It is used as a solvent, as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, and as a fuel additive. 2-Butanol is also a component of some cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It is studied for its potential use as a biofuel.'

Research Excerpts

Dosage Studied

The EAG response of male antennae to a 50:50 ratio (racemic mixture) showed a similar dose-response curve to that of (R)-2-butanol. A 135-197% increase in acetanilide hydroxylase activity was found in rats sacrificed 12-40 h after dosing with 2- butanol or 2-butanone.
