1-Chlorobutane (n-Butyl chloride) CAS 109-69-3
1-Chlorobutane is a primary alkyl chloride supplied as a colorless liquid. It is employed as a solvent, alkylating intermediate and building block in organic synthesis for manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, plasticizers and specialty intermediates. The material is flammable and requires standard precautions for volatile chlorinated organics.
Applications
- Solvent for organic synthesis
Used as an aprotic solvent for alkylation and other substitution reactions where a primary alkyl chloride is suitable. - Alkylating intermediate
Employed as an alkyl donor in synthesis of ethers, esters, amines and specialty intermediates. - Pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediate
Used as a feedstock in the manufacture of active intermediates where C4-alkylation is required. - Plasticizer and specialty chemical precursor
Used in routes to produce butyl-substituted functional molecules for plasticizers and additives. - Analytical reagent and standard
Supplied as an analytical standard and reagent for method development and QC.
