General description
2-Butanol is secondary alcohol mainly used as a solvent in organic synthesis. 2-butanol readily converts into 2-butanone (methyl ethyl ketone, MEK), which is used as a solvent in the industrial sector and many domestic cleaning products. It is an intermediate in devulcanizing rubber and the production of alkyl ester for use as biodiesel fuel.
Application
2-Butanol is used:
- As a precursor to produce 2-butanone in presence of KMnO4 oxidant and CPC (N-cetylpyridinium chloride) micellar catalyst.
- In the production of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite films.

This article introduces the concept of chiral ion mobility spectrometry (CIMS) and presents examples demonstrating the gas-phase separation of enantiomers of a wide range of racemates including pharmaceuticals, amino acids, and carbohydrates. CIMS is similar to traditional ion mobility spectrometry

We demonstrate for the first time that low-energy spin-polarized secondary electrons, produced by irradiation of a magnetic substrate, can induce chiral-selective chemistry. Our approach was to perform detailed measurements of the reaction rate for x-ray induced, secondary electron photolysis of

Although organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are highly compartmentalized, these organelles are interconnected through a network of vesicular trafficking. The marine sponge metabolite ilimaquinone (IQ) is known to induce Golgi membrane fragmentation and is widely used

A breath-based adherence system to document ingestion of oral medications (e.g., HAART) was investigated. Specifically, the food additive 2-butanol, which can be easily packaged with a drug, is converted via alcohol dehydrogenase to the volatile metabolite 2-butanone that rapidly appears

Diastereomeric adducts between (S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-ethanol and R and S 2-butanol, formed by supersonic expansion, have been investigated by means of a combination of mass selected resonant two-photon ionization-spectroscopy and infrared depletion spectroscopy. Chiral recognition is evidenced by the specific spectroscopic signatures
