Description and Uses
Isobutyl alcohol has a disagreeable odor. May be prepared from isobutylene; by reduction of isobutyraldehyde with sodium amalgam or in the presence of a catalyst; by fermentation of isobutyraldehyde; isolated during fermentation of carbohydrates.
2-Methyl-1-propanol (Isobutyl alcohol) may be used to prepare the isobutyl alcohol-benzene solution for use in the quantification of inorganic phosphates. It may be used for the estimation of phosphate (inorganic phosphorous) by a colorimetric method.
