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.

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.
