Butanol Extra Pure is a high-purity aliphatic alcohol commonly used in laboratory environments as a solvent, reagent, and intermediate in organic synthesis. Its moderate polarity and ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds make it ideal for use in extractions, chromatography, and spectrophotometric analysis. It also serves as a starting material for producing esters, plasticizers, and pharmaceuticals. The 99.4% purity ensures minimal water and impurity content, providing reliable consistency in sensitive procedures. With a relatively low evaporation rate and good miscibility with many organic solvents, it is suitable for both preparative and analytical applications. Proper storage in a cool, ventilated area in tightly sealed containers is essential to preserve its quality and reduce volatility.

Description

Butanol Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. Solvent in Organic Synthesis
    • Acts as a moderately polar solvent for reactions involving esters, alkaloids, lipids, and polymers.
    • Useful in Grignard reactions, esterifications, and extractions.
  2. Chromatography Solvent
    • Employed in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and paper chromatography—especially as a component of mobile phases for separating amino acids or plant pigments.
  3. Recrystallization and Purification
    • Used as a solvent for recrystallizing certain organic compounds, where water miscibility needs to be limited.
  4. Intermediate in Ester Formation
    • Reacts with acids (e.g., acetic acid) to form butyl esters, useful for lab studies on esterification kinetics or odor/flavor compounds.

Secondary Uses

  1. Alcohol Functional Group Study
    • Serves as a model primary alcohol in functional group tests and qualitative analysis (Lucas test, oxidation reactions, etc.).
  2. Spectroscopy Practice
    • Used in IR and NMR to demonstrate spectral features of hydroxyl-containing compounds and C–H stretches in alcohols.
  3. Microbiology (as a Control or Solvent)
    • Occasionally used to dissolve or deliver hydrophobic antimicrobial agents or serve as a volatile control substance in microbial assays.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile), splash-proof goggles, and a lab coat.
    • Use with adequate ventilation — preferably under a fume hood.
  2. Handling:
    • Avoid breathing vapors.
    • Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
    • Keep away from sources of heat, sparks, and open flame.
  3. Storage:
    • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
    • Keep containers tightly closed and clearly labeled.
    • Store away from oxidizing agents, acids, and alkalis.
  4. Incompatibilities:
    • Strong oxidizers (e.g., chromates, nitric acid), acids, and alkali metals.

FIRST AID MEASURES

  1. Inhalation:
    • Remove the victim to fresh air.
    • Seek medical attention if symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or difficulty breathing occur.
  2. Skin Contact:
