110-63-4
110-63-4 Introduction:
110-63-4 is the Cas No. of 1,4-Butanediol and is odorless colorless liquid or solid (depending upon temperature). 1,4-Butanediol is heat and light sensitive. This compound reacts with acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and chloroformates. 110-63-4 also reacts with oxidizing agents and reducing agents. 1,4-Butanediol is incompatible with isocyanates and acids. 1.4-Butanediol is also incompatible with peroxides, perchloric acid, sulfuric acid, hypochlorous acid, nitric acid, caustics, acetaldehyde, nitrogen peroxide and chlorine.

Uses of 1,4-butanediol:
1,4-BDO is a colorless, viscous liquid derived from butane by placement of alcohol groups at each end of its molecular chain and is one of four stable isomers of butanediol. The hydroxyl function of each end group of the Butanediol reacts with different mono- and bifunctional reagents. For example: With dicarboxylic acids to polyesters. With diisocyanates to polyurethanes, or with phosgene to polycarbonates. BDO is a high-quality intermediate. BDO and its derivatives are widely used for producing plastics, solvents, electronic chemicals and elastic fibers. Additionally BDO is also a building block for the synthesis of polyesterpolyols and polyetherpolyols.
