Butanone is an effective and common solvent [8] and is used in processes involving gums, resins, cellulose acetate and nitrocellulose coatings and in vinyl films. [11] For this reason it finds use in the manufacture of plastics, textiles, in the production of paraffin wax , and in household products such as lacquer , varnishes , paint remover ...
In organic chemistry, enols are a type of Functional group or intermediate in organic chemistry containing a group with the formula C=C(OH) (R = many substituents). The term enol is an abbreviation of alkenol, a portmanteau deriving from "-ene"/"alkene" and the "-ol".
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).
Normal butane can be used for gasoline blending, as a fuel gas, fragrance extraction solvent, either alone or in a mixture with propane, and as a feedstock for the manufacture of ethylene and butadiene, a key ingredient of synthetic rubber. Isobutane is primarily used by refineries to enhance (increase) the octane number of motor gasoline.
Polymerization of but-1-ene gives polybutylene, which is used to make piping for domestic plumbing. [3] Another application is as a comonomer in the production of certain kinds of polyethylene, such as linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). [4] It has also been used as a precursor to polypropylene resins, butylene oxide, and butanone. [5]
Its main uses are in the production of high-octane gasoline (petrol) on alkylation units and butadiene, [4] although some but-2-ene is also used to produce the solvent butanone via hydration reaction to butan-2-ol followed by oxidation.

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.
