Butanol, also known as butyl alcohol, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic odor. It is used in the production of fragrances, flavors, and aroma chemicals. It is a key ingredient in the production of esters, which are used to create a wide range of flavors and fragrances. Butanol is also used as a solvent in the production of perfumes, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a fuel additive and as a solvent in the production of paints and coatings. Butanol is produced from the fermentation of sugar or starch, or from the catalytic hydrogenation of acetone. It is also produced from the catalytic oxidation of propylene. The global butanol market is expected to grow at a steady rate due to its increasing use in the production of fragrances, flavors, and aroma chemicals.
