Chemical compound

1,2-Butanediol is a vic-diol (glycol) first described by Charles-Adolphe Wurtz in 1859. It is produced industrially as a byproduct of the production of 1,4-butanediol from butadiene, and is also a byproduct of the catalytic hydrocracking of starches and sugars such as sorbitol to ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. It is used to produced polyester resins and plasticizers, and is a potential feedstock for the industrial production of α-ketobutyric acid, a precursor to many amino acids.

Notes

  1. The value of −50 °C for the melting point is taken from Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry and used by the Hazardous Substances Data Bank and the OECD Screening Information Dataset. Other reported values of the melting point range from −114 °C to −30 °C.
  2. The catalytic hydrocracking of starches and sugars has been successfully commercialized by S2G Biochem Inc. in partnership with International Polyol Chemical, Inc., as of 2007. http://www.s2gbiochem.com/technology.html
