Isobutyl alcohol (Isobutanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol) is the simplest monoatomic alcohol, one of the isomers of butyl alcohol.

Isobutyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. It is almost impossible to distinguish its smell from butanol. Isobutanol is an isomer of n-butanol, their properties are almost identical. Like butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol is a good solvent for essential oils, waxes, ethers, alkaloids, and some synthetic resins. According to the passport, these spirits can be distinguished by density. The density of isobutanol (0.801-0.803) is lower than that of butanol (0.809-0.810). Accordingly, the boiling point of isobutanol is 108 C, and that of butanol is 117 C.

The most famous application of isobutanol is its use in the paint industry. It is a part of many number solvents, washes, oil and fuel additives. Along with butanol, isobutanol is used for the production of butyl acetate, butyl acrylate, production of plastics and resins.
