3-Methoxy-1-butanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Uses

High-boiling lacquer solvent, coupling agent for brake fluids, intermediate for plasticizers, herbicides, film-forming additive in PVA emulsions, solvent for pharmaceuticals.

Uses

3-Methoxy-1-butanol can be used as:

• A solvent in the synthesis of potassium 3-methoxy-1-butylxanthate, an intermediate used in the preparation of xanthate complexes.
• A model compound in the study of dehydration of alcohols using CeO₂?as a catalyst.
• An intermediate to synthesize perylene diimide-based dyes applicable as the colorant of the black matrix.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-methoxy-1-butanol is a primary alcohol that is butane-1,3-diol in which the hydroxy group at position 3 is replaced by a methoxy group. It is a primary alcohol and an ether. It is functionally related to a butane-1,3-diol.

Hazard

Toxic by ingestion.
