Butanone is an effective and common solvent [8] and is used in processes involving gums, resins, cellulose acetate and nitrocellulose coatings and in vinyl films. [11] For this reason it finds use in the manufacture of plastics, textiles, in the production of paraffin wax , and in household products such as lacquer , varnishes , paint remover ...
3-Methyl-2-butanone (methyl isopropyl ketone, MIPK) is a ketone and solvent of minor importance. It is comparable to MEK ( Methyl ethyl ketone ), but has a lower solvency and is more expensive. [ 2 ]

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).
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).
Diacetyl (/ d aɪ j ə ˈ s iː t ə l / dy-yuh-SEE-tuhl; IUPAC systematic name: butanedione or butane-2,3-dione) is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3 CO) 2. It is a yellow liquid with an intensely buttery flavor. It is a vicinal diketone (two C=O groups, side-by-side).
tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol (2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic [ 3 ] and more recently as a recreational drug . [ 4 ] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABA A receptors in the same way as ethanol . [ 5 ]
