Chlorobutanols

Chlorobutanols are chemical compounds that are formally derived from alkanes . Here, one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by chlorine atoms and hydroxyl groups . The alkane structure consists of four carbon atoms and can be straight-chain ( n -butane ) or branched ( isobutane or 2-methylpropane).

Examples

4-chlorobutan-1-ol

1,1,1-trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol

• 4-chlorobutan-1-ol : a singly chlorinated n- butanol which is produced as a large-scale intermediate product by reacting tetrahydrofuran with hydrogen chloride .
• 1,1,1-Trichlor-2-methyl-2-propanol : a triple chlorinated isobutanol , which is used in medicine under the international name of chlorobutanol and is used as a cosmetic ingredient CHLOROBUTANOL ( INCI ) .
