Butylene Oxide 1,2-Epoxybutane

Butylene oxide, or 1,2-epoxybutane, is produced in the United States by Dow Chemical Company. The current production is about 8 million pounds (3,640 metric tons) per year by a chlorohydrin process similar to that used to make propylene oxide. It is available as 1,2-butylene oxide or as an 80-90/10-20 mixture of 1,2-and 2,3-butylene oxide. In Europe, 1,2-butylene oxide is manufactured principally by BASF. [Pg.21]

Butylene oxide is used principally as an HCl acceptor in stabilizer formulations for 1,1,1-trichloroethane, a dry-cleaning and metal-cleaning solvent. It is also used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and as a comonomer in making nonionic surfactants and copoly(alkylene oxide)s. Other uses include preparation of gasoline additives, butanol amines, butylene glycols, and their ether and ester derivatives. [Pg.22]
