2-Butanol, or sec-butanol, is an organic compound with formula CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3. This secondary alcohol is a flammable, colorless liquid that is soluble in 12 parts water and completely  miscible with polar organic solvent such as ethers and other alcohols. It is produced on a large scale, primarily as a precursor  to the industrial solvent methyl ethyl ketone. 2-Butanol is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)-(-)-2-butanol and (S)- (+)-2-butanol. It is normally found as an equal mixture of the two stereoisomers —a racemic mixture.
