The prefixes sec (from "secondary") and tert (from "tertiary") refer to the number of additional side chains (or carbons) connected to the first butyl carbon. The prefix "iso" or "iso" means "isolated" while the prefix 'n-' stands for "normal". Butan-2-yl (sec-butyl) group is chiral. The carbon atom at position 2 is a stereocenter.
Butanol (also called butyl alcohol) is a four-carbon alcohol with a formula of C 4 H 9 O H, which occurs in five isomeric structures (four structural isomers), from a straight-chain primary alcohol to a branched-chain tertiary alcohol; [1] all are a butyl or isobutyl group linked to a hydroxyl group (sometimes represented as BuOH, sec-BuOH, i-BuOH, and t-BuOH).
The terms sec and tert are considered obsolete and should only be used for unsubstituted sec-butoxy, sec-butyl [26] [27] or tert-butyl groups. [ 28 ] [ 27 ] There are various spellings such as "sec-butyl", "s-butyl", "sBu" or "bus" which are also considered obsolete.
Isobutanol (IUPAC nomenclature: 2-methylpropan-1-ol) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 OH (sometimes represented as i-BuOH).This colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic smell is mainly used as a solvent either directly or as its esters.
Like other butanols, butan-2-ol has low acute toxicity. The LD 50 is 4400 mg/kg (rat, oral). [6]Several explosions have been reported [7] [8] [9] during the conventional distillation of 2-butanol, apparently due to the buildup of peroxides with the boiling point higher than that of pure alcohol (and therefore concentrating in the still pot during distillation).
Isobutylamine is an organic chemical compound (specifically, an amine) with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 NH 2, and occurs as a colorless liquid. [1] [2] Isobutylamine is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being n-butylamine, sec-butylamine and tert-butylamine.

n-Butyl acetate is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 2 (CH 2) 3 CH 3. A colorless, flammable liquid, it is the ester derived from n- butanol and acetic acid . It is found in many types of fruit, where it imparts characteristic flavors and has a sweet smell of banana or apple.
