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.
