Infobox references

1,3-Butanediol is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH. With two alcohol functional groups, the molecule is classified as a diol. The compound is also chiral, but most studies do not distinguish the enantiomers. The compound is a colorless, bittersweet, water-soluble liquid. It is one of four common structural isomers of butanediol.[1][2] It is used in flavoring.

Production and uses

Hydrogenation of 3-hydroxybutanal gives 1,3-butanediol:[3]

CH3CH(OH)CH2CHO + H2 → CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH

Dehydration of 1,3-butanediol gives 1,3-butadiene:

CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH → CH2=CH-CH=CH2 + 2 H2O

Occurrence

1,3-Butanediol is used as a hypoglycaemic agent.

1,3-Butanediol has been detected in green bell peppers, orange bell peppers, pepper (Capsicum annuum), red bell peppers, and yellow bell peppers.[4] 1,3 Butanediol, also referred to as 1,3-Butylene glycol, maintains FDA GRAS status as a flavor molecule.[5]
