1,3-Butanediol is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH. With two alcohol functional groups, the molecule is classified as a diol. The compound is a colorless, water-soluble liquid. It is one of four common structural isomers of butanediol. It has no large scale uses.[1][2]
Production and uses[]
Hydrogenation of 3-hydroxybutanal gives 1,3-butanediol:[3]
- CH3CH(OH)CH2CHO + H2 → CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH
Dehydration of 1,3-butanediol gives 1,3-butadiene:
- CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH → CH2=CH-CH=CH2 + 2 H2O
Occurrence[]
In biology, 1,3-butanediol is used as a hypoglycaemic agent. 1,3-Butanediol can be converted into β-hydroxybutyrate and serve as a substrate for brain metabolism.[4]
