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

Table of Contents

Butanol Extra Pure

Primary Uses

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.
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.
Recrystallization and Purification
- Used as a solvent for recrystallizing certain organic compounds, where water miscibility needs to be limited.
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

Alcohol Functional Group Study
- Serves as a model primary alcohol in functional group tests and qualitative analysis (Lucas test, oxidation reactions, etc.).
Spectroscopy Practice
- Used in IR and NMR to demonstrate spectral features of hydroxyl-containing compounds and C–H stretches in alcohols.
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

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.
Handling:
- Avoid breathing vapors.
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
- Keep away from sources of heat, sparks, and open flame.
Storage:

- Keep containers tightly closed and clearly labeled.
- Store away from oxidizing agents, acids, and alkalis.
Incompatibilities:
- Strong oxidizers (e.g., chromates, nitric acid), acids, and alkali metals.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:
- Remove the victim to fresh air.
- Seek medical attention if symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or difficulty breathing occur.
Skin Contact:
- Immediately wash with soap and water.
- Remove contaminated clothing.
- Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes.
- Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
- Seek medical help immediately.
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth.
- Do not induce vomiting.
- Get immediate medical assistance.
