General description
2-Butanol is secondary alcohol mainly used as a solvent in organic synthesis. 2-butanol readily converts into 2-butanone (methyl ethyl ketone, MEK), which is used as a solvent in the industrial sector and many domestic cleaning products. It is an intermediate in devulcanizing rubber and the production of alkyl ester for use as biodiesel fuel.
Application
2-Butanol is used:
- As a precursor to produce 2-butanone in presence of KMnO4 oxidant and CPC (N-cetylpyridinium chloride) micellar catalyst.
- In the production of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite films.

Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP, 13(3), 818-824 (2010-12-07)
Diastereomeric adducts between (S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-ethanol and R and S 2-butanol, formed by supersonic expansion, have been investigated by means of a combination of mass selected resonant two-photon ionization-spectroscopy and infrared depletion spectroscopy. Chiral recognition is evidenced by the specific spectroscopic signatures

The enantioselective chemisorption of R- and S-propylene oxide has been measured either on clean Pd(111) that has been exposed to S-2-butanol at various temperatures to vary the proportion of 2-butanol and 2-butoxide species or by adsorbing S-2-butanol on oxygen-covered Pd(111)
Timothy E Morey et al.
AIDS and behavior, 17(1), 298-306 (2012-09-25)
A breath-based adherence system to document ingestion of oral medications (e.g., HAART) was investigated. Specifically, the food additive 2-butanol, which can be easily packaged with a drug, is converted via alcohol dehydrogenase to the volatile metabolite 2-butanone that rapidly appears
