China and the United States are the leading exporters of 2-Methyl-1-butanol (CAS 137-32-6), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while India, South Korea, and Germany represent the top importing markets. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest upward pressure on 2-Methyl-1-butanol prices reflecting tightening supply from key Asian producers.
2-Methyl-1-butanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, characteristic alcoholic odor and moderate volatility; it has a boiling point of approximately 129–131 °C and a melting point near −75 °C. It is a branched-chain primary aliphatic alcohol and classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Industrially, it serves primarily as a precursor in the synthesis of esters—especially 2-methylbutyl acetate—for use as flavor and fragrance ingredients, and as a building block in the production of plasticizers and specialty solvents. Its applications are concentrated in flavors and fragrances, coatings, and solvent formulations, where its favorable evaporation profile and solvency power are leveraged.
