Description

Isobutyl alcohol, also known as 2-methyl-1-propanol, is a branched-chain primary alcohol. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. It is a common industrial solvent and is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. Isobutyl alcohol is produced by the hydration of isobutylene. It is also produced by the fermentation of sugars by certain types of bacteria. Isobutyl alcohol is a flammable liquid and should be handled with care. It is a relatively non-toxic compound, but can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It is important to note that isobutyl alcohol is not the same as isopropyl alcohol, which is a commonly used disinfectant. Isobutyl alcohol is studied for its potential use as a biofuel, as well as for its use in the production of other chemicals.'
