Introduction | 2, 3-butanediol is an alcohol organic compound, which is in the form of three stereoisomers, chiral pairs and meso isomers. It is often used as a reagent, which is a colorless liquid. Slightly soluble in water, ethanol, ether and acetone, it is the precursor for preparing various plastics and pesticides. Note: The reagent should be avoided from inhalation; avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. It is hygroscopic and sensitive to air. Store under nitrogen protection in a dry and cool place. |
apply | 2, 3-butanediol can be used for enantiomeric resolution, asymmetric butanol aldehyde reaction, asymmetric fragmentation of chiral acetals, asymmetric β-elimination of chiral acetylacetals, asymmetric allylation, chiral diene acetals Cyclization, enantioselective epoxidation, diastereoselective cyclopropanation, homologization of borates. |
use | 2, 3-butanediol uses sulfuric acid as a catalyst and reacts with acetic acid at 140-150 ℃ for 2 hours to generate 2, 3-butanediol diacetate, which can be added to cream or as a hygroscopic agent, plasticizer and coupling agent. 2, 3-butanediol is also used as a solvent and as a raw material for synthetic resins. Used to prepare resins and use as solvents, etc. |
production method | sugar, molasses, malt pulp or alcohol mother liquor are used as raw materials and are prepared by biological fermentation. When sugars are fermented and refined to make vinegar, the by-product acetaldehyde can also produce 2, 3-butanediol under the action of yeast. |
