Process : Davy Mckee (KPT)
1,4-Butanediol(also known as its less popular chemical synonyms:1,4-butylene glycol, 1,4- tetramethylene glycol and 1,4-dihydroxybutane ) is a low-viscosity glycol used almost exclusively as an intermediate to synthesize other chemicals and polymers. The butanediol molecule maintains its original chemical identity only when used as as a solvent. Since butanediol can undergo the typical reactions of a primary alcohol, it lends itself to a very large number of chemical modifications. As it is a difunctional molecule, most of its...
