Isobutanol, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka isopropyl alcohol, ʻo 2-methyl propanol kahi wai ʻona ʻona ʻole. ʻO Isobutanol kekahi o nā mea nui o nā lau kī hou, ke kī ʻeleʻele a me ke kī ʻōmaʻomaʻo e hana ai i ka mea ʻala maikaʻi me ka paona molekala o 74.12, kahi paila o 107.66 ℃, pili pili o 0.8016 (20/4 ℃), kuhikuhi kuhikuhi o 1.3959. a me kahi kiko uila o 37 ℃. Hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ʻo Isobutanol i ka waiʻona a me ka etera, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai. Hiki i kona mahu ke hana i hui pahū me ka ea; ʻO ka palena pahū he 2.4% (ka nui). Hiki iā ia ke hana i nā pūhui hoʻohui (CaCl2 • 3C4H10O) me ka calcium chloride. Hiki ke loaʻa ka Isobutanol ma ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana o ka hua o ka methanol a hiki ke loaʻa mai mai ka distillation o ka ʻaila fusel crude. Ke hoʻohana nei i ka ʻoihana carbonyl cobalt ma ke ʻano he catalyst, e hana ana i ka propylene a me ka carbon monoxide a me ka hui hydrogen i 110 ~ 140 ° C, 2.0265 × 107 ~ 3.0397 × 107Pa e hoʻohua i ka butyraldehyde a me ka isobutyraldehyde, a laila ma o ka hydrogenation catalytic, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka isobutanol. Hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Isobutanol i ka hana ʻana i nā mea hoʻohui ʻaila, antioxidants, plasticizers, synthetic rubber, artificial musk, hua aila a me nā lāʻau synthetic a hoʻohana pū ʻia e like me nā solvents a me nā reagents chemical.
