    Brief Overview
    Isobutanol is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3 ) 2 CHCH 2 OH. This colourless,
    flammable liquid with a characteristic smell is mainly used as a solvent. Its isomers, the
    other butanol’s, include n-butanol, 2-butanol, and tert-butanol, all of which are important
    industrially.

    Manufacturing Process
    Isobutanol is produced by the carbonylation of propylene. Two methods are practiced
    industrially, hydroformylation is more common and generates a mixture
    of isobutyraldehydes, which are hydrogenated to the alcohols and then separated. Reppe
    carbonylation is also practiced

    Isobutanol has a variety of technical and industrial applications:
    Feedstock in the manufacture of isobutyl acetate, which is used in the production
    of lacquer and similar coatings, and in the food industry as a flavouring agent
    Precursor of derivative esters – isobutyl esters such as diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) are used
    as plasticizers in plastics, rubbers, and other dispersions
    Precursor of p-xylene, a building block for plastic bottles, textiles and clothing.
