1-Butanol is an industrial solvent that can be obtained either from petroleum feedstock or by biomass fermentation. Some of its characteristic properties include high energy content, low vapor pressure and a better capability to combine with gasoline. Synthesis of di-n-butyl ether (DBE) in a fixed-bed flow reactor via dehydration of 1-butanol in the presence of γ-alumina, zeolites, and Amberlyst ion-exchange resins has been investigated. Its thermophysical properties have been calculated. Formation of fatty acid butyl esters (FABE) via transesterification of rapeseed and jatropha oil with 1-butanol in the presence of acid catalyst has been studied under varying conditions. Synonyms: n-Butanol; Butyl alcohol Molecular Formula: C4H10O Molecular Weight: 74.12 Linear Structural Formula: CH3(CH2)3OH MDL Number: MFCD00002964 Purity: 99.9% Melting Point: -90 C (lit.) Density: 0.81 g/mL at 25 C (lit.) Refractive Index: n20/D 1.399 (lit.) Application: 1-Butanol may be used for the esterification of lactic acid in the presence of lipase from Candida antarctica and hexane solvent.
