Description
1,3-Butanediol is a high-assay diol offered at min. 99 % purity for synthesis applications in research and production laboratories. Characterised by CAS number 107-88-0, EG number 203-529-7 and empirical formula C₄H₁₀O₂, it has a molar mass of 90,12 g/mol, a density of 1,004 g/cm³, a boiling point of 209 °C and a flash point of 115 °C. This organic intermediate serves as a solvent, co-solvent or building block in organic synthesis, formulation studies and polymer-related work where a stable, higher-boiling diol is required. Its defined physical properties and synthesis grade support condensation chemistry, process development and general laboratory protocols that demand consistent purity. Laboratories select 1,3-butanediol when a reliable aliphatic diol with documented boiling and flash behaviour is needed for reproducible synthetic outcomes.
This article belongs on Technical & synthesis grade solvents, in Solvents.

Questions about 1,3-Butanediol, min. 99 %, for synthesis, 250 ml, plastic
What is this article?
1,3-Butanediol, min. 99 %, for synthesis, 250 ml, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Technical & synthesis grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
Technical and synthesis grades are for cleaning, for a coarse extraction and for chemistry that does not end in a chromatogram. They cost less because more impurity is allowed. They are the wrong bottle to make a mobile phase or a volumetric standard.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
