Isobutyl Alcohol

Isobutyl Alcohol (CAS No. 78-83-1), also known as Isobutanol or 2-Methyl-1-propanol, is a clear, colorless, neutral liquid with a characteristic sweet, musty odor. As one of the four isomeric butanols, it features a branched-chain structure (C₄H₁₀O, molecular weight 74.12).

This versatile medium-boiling, slow-evaporating solvent exhibits excellent miscibility with common organic solvents—including alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, and aliphatic hydrocarbons—while showing only limited miscibility with water (approximately 8.5% by weight at 20°C). Its properties closely resemble those of n-butyl alcohol, allowing it to serve as a supplement or direct replacement in many formulations.
