CAS 78-83-1: Isobutanol

Isobutanol is a reagent used in organic reactions. It is employed in the synthesis of new fluorinating reagents. It is used as a mobile phase in High Performance Liquid Chromatography. It is also used in the lipase-catalyzed production of biodiesel as an energy source. It acts as a catalyst for liquid-phase esterification of acetic acid by ion-exchange resins. Dehydration of fermented isobutanol is useful for the production of renewable chemicals and fuels. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

2-Methyl-1-propanol is a small molecule that inhibits the activity of certain enzymes. It is an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, which converts ethanol to acetaldehyde. 2-Methyl-1-propanol also inhibits the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase, which catalyzes the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetaldehyde. These two effects result in increased levels of acetaldehyde in the blood and reduced levels of acetate in the blood. The effect on alcohol dehydrogenase has been shown in recombinant cells and in yeast cells with a mutation that leads to decreased alcohol dehydrogenase activity. 2-Methyl-1-propanol has been shown to inhibit the growth of wild type strains but not mutant strains of Escherichia coli, suggesting that its physiological effects are due to inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase activities.
