Diepoxybutane (also known as butane diepoxide, butadiene diepoxide, or 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane) is a chemical compound with two epoxide functional groups. It is used as a chemical intermediate, as a curing agent for polymers, as a cross-linking agent for textiles, and as a preservative.[2]
Diepoxybutane is a carcinogen.[2] It has been used for the intentional mutagenesis of organisms in biological research.[3][4]
