Overview of N-Butyl Chloride
N-Butyl Chloride (also called 1-Chlorobutane) is a non-coloured volatile organic compound that is widely utilised as an alkylating chemical and solvent for chemical manufacturing. It is highly valued for its role in evaporation-controlled processes and as a catalyst for the production of agricultural chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and speciality chemical compounds.
The n-butyl chloride structure consists of a straight-chain butyl group attached to a chlorine atom, allowing prediction of chemical reactions. The defined boiling point, the properties of the solvent, and its ability to be used in industrial and laboratory-scale reactions make it an incredibly versatile agent. Because of its high volatility, it is essential to handle and store it with care.
In formulations for industrial use, N-Butyl Chloride is commonly used along with other intermediates such as Monocalcium Phosphate Anhydrous, Monoethylene Glycol, and Morpholine, which are available from ChemicalBull and provide all chemical sources for various requirements in manufacturing.
