1,3-Butanediol
1,3-Butanediol is a hydroxyl-functional chemical substance or chemical grouping identified by the named structure.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
1,3-Butanediol (CAS 107-88-0), (also known as butane-1,3-diol, or 1,3-dihydroxybutane) is a diol used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of polyester plasticizers and other products. It finds some use as a solvent for flavorings and as a humectant in pet foods, tobacco and cosmetics. It is one of four stable structural isomers of butanediol. In biology, 1,3-Butanediol is used as a hypoglycaemic agent. 1,3-Butanediol can be converted into β-hydroxybutyrate and serve as a substrate for brain metabolism.
Positional and stereochemical identity, assay, water content and supplied form distinguish the material. A diol feedstock, formulated resin and finished polymer article have different commercial boundaries.
The commercial boundary
Use the selected edition’s stated product level, geography, years and measurement basis. Materials, components, finished systems and services are separate commercial boundaries unless that edition explicitly combines them.
Which isomer identity and supplied specification define the diol?
Positional and stereochemical identity, assay, water content and supplied form distinguish the material. A diol feedstock, formulated resin and finished polymer article have different commercial boundaries.
