1-Butanol is an intermediate in the production of butyl acrylate, butyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate dibutyl sebacate and other butyl esters, butyl ethers such as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, di- and triethylene glycol monobutyl ether and the corresponding butyl ether acetates. Other industrial uses include the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, polymers, pyroxylin plastics, herbicide esters (e.g., 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T) and butyl xanthate.
