General description

1-Chlorobutane is an isomer of chlorobutane. It undergoes stoichiometric and catalytic dehydrochlorination on reacting with nanocrystalline MgO (magnesium oxide) to generate isomers of butene. Viscosities of the binary mixtures of pentyl acetate and 1-chlorobutane and 1-chlorobutane and acetonitrile has been studied. This study helps in better understanding of cosolvency in polymer system.

Application

1-Chlorobutane may be used in the synthesis of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM][HSO4]).

We have found chlorine kinetic isotope effects on the dehalogenation catalyzed by haloalkane dehalogenase from Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 to be 1.0045 +/- 0.0004 for 1,2-dichloroethane and 1.0066 +/- 0.0004 for 1-chlorobutane. The latter isotope effect approaches the intrinsic chlorine kinetic
