[News & Trends]:Mixed alcohol and normal alcohol: Do you understand their differences?

Mixed alcohol and normal alcohol are two common alcohol compounds, which have certain differences in chemical properties and applications. Mixed alcohol is an isomer that includes two types: 2-butanol and 3-butanol, while n-butanol refers to 1-butanol. In terms of chemical structure, mixed alcohols and normal alcohols have different molecular structures, so there are also some differences in properties and applications


Firstly, there is a mixed alcohol, which is an isomer of butanol and has two types: 2-butanol and 3-butanol. 2-butanol is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is soluble in organic solvents such as water and ethanol. And 3-butanol is also a colorless liquid, but its odor is relatively mild, and it is also soluble in water and some organic solvents. Mixtures are commonly used as solvents, raw materials, etc


And n-butanol refers to 1-butanol, which is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, soluble in solvents such as ethanol and ether, and insoluble in water. In industry, n-alcohols are widely used as solvents and raw materials, and can also be used to prepare ether compounds


Overall, mixed alcohols and normal alcohols have certain differences in chemical structure, properties, and applications. Therefore, when choosing to use it, it is necessary to make choices based on specific needs.
