Why should we use 2,3-Butanediol?
2,3-Butanediol is a colorless crystalline solid or viscous. Miscible with water, soluble in alcohol and ether.2, 3 - butanediol can be used as hygroscopic agents, plasticizers and coupling agents. 2,3 - butanediol is also used as solvents and synthetic materials resin.It is used for the preparation of resin and used as a solvent, etc.2,3-Butanediol a chemical compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, andoxygen. Its formula is C4H10O2. It is one of the constitutional isomers ofbutanediol. The 2R,3R stereoisomer of 2,3-butanediol is produced by a variety of microorganisms, in a process known as butanediol fermentation. It is found in cocobutter and in the roots of Ruta graveolens. It is used in the resolution of carbonyl compounds in gas chromatography. For 2,3-Butanediol fermentation ,which produces smaller amounts of acid than mixed acid fermentation, and butanediol, ethanol,CO2 and H2 are the end products. While equal amounts of CO2 and H2 are created during mixed acid fermentation, butanediol fermentation produces more than twice the amount of CO2 because the gases are not produced only by formate hydrogen lyase like they are in the mixed acid fermentation.
