Phenethyl alcohol, or 2-phenylethanol, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 OH. It is a colourless liquid with a pleasant floral odor. It occurs widely in nature, being found in a variety of essential oils. It is slightly soluble in water (2 ml per 100 ml of H 2 O), but miscible with most organic solvents.
Butanol (also called butyl alcohol) is a four-carbon alcohol with a formula of C 4 H 9 O H, which occurs in five isomeric structures (four structural isomers), from a straight-chain primary alcohol to a branched-chain tertiary alcohol; [1] all are a butyl or isobutyl group linked to a hydroxyl group (sometimes represented as BuOH, sec-BuOH, i-BuOH, and t-BuOH).
2 is added with H 2 SO 4 to form phenol (Hock process). In addition to the reactions above, many other more specialized reactions produce phenols: rearrangement of esters in the Fries rearrangement [7] [8] rearrangement of N-phenylhydroxylamines in the Bamberger rearrangement [9] [10] dealkylation of phenolic ethers; reduction of quinones
Like other butanols, butan-2-ol has low acute toxicity. The LD 50 is 4400 mg/kg (rat, oral). [6]Several explosions have been reported [7] [8] [9] during the conventional distillation of 2-butanol, apparently due to the buildup of peroxides with the boiling point higher than that of pure alcohol (and therefore concentrating in the still pot during distillation).
This Wikipedia page provides a comprehensive list of boiling and freezing points for various solvents.

Three of these alcohols, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-pentanol, and 3-methyl-2-butanol (methyl isopropyl carbinol), contain stereocenters, and are therefore chiral and optically active. The most important amyl alcohol is isoamyl alcohol , the chief one generated by fermentation in the production of alcoholic beverages and a constituent of fusel oil .
