Overview of 4-Methyl-2-Pentanol

4-Methyl-2-Pentanol is an important aliphatic alcohol solvent widely used in coatings, lubricants, mining, chemical processing, and industrial formulations. It is commonly known in industry as MIBC (Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol). Chemically, 4-Methyl-2-Pentanol has the molecular formula C₆H₁₄O and belongs to the secondary alcohol group.

From a structural perspective, the 4-Methyl-2-Pentanol structure consists of a branched six-carbon chain with a hydroxyl (–OH) group attached to the second carbon atom. This structure provides moderate polarity, good solvency, and excellent surface activity. It appears as a clear, colourless liquid with a mild alcoholic odour. Its controlled evaporation and stability make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
