Secondary butyl alcohol (CAS No. 78-92-2), with the molecular formula C4H10O, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic sweet, camphor-like odor. It is one of the four isomeric butanols. As a secondary alcohol, it exhibits reactivity typical of its class and serves as a versatile solvent and important chemical intermediate. Its evaporation rate is slower than acetone but faster than n-butanol, offering a useful balance in formulation properties.
