Isobutanol, yomwe imadziwikanso kuti isopropyl alcohol, 2-methyl propanol ndi mowa wopanda mtundu wamadzimadzi omwe amatha kuyaka. Isobutanol ndi imodzi mwazosakaniza zazikulu za masamba a tiyi watsopano, tiyi wakuda ndi tiyi wobiriwira kuti apange fungo labwino la molekyulu yolemera 74.12, kuwira kwa 107.66 ℃, kachulukidwe wa 0.8016 (20/4 ℃), refractive index of 1.3959 ndi kung'anima kwa 37 ℃. Isobutanol imasungunuka kwathunthu mu mowa ndi ether, kusungunuka pang'ono m'madzi. Nthunzi yake imatha kupanga chisakanizo chophulika ndi mpweya; malire a kuphulika ndi 2.4% (volume). Ikhoza kupanga zowonjezera zowonjezera (CaCl2 • 3C4H10O) ndi calcium chloride. Isobutanol imatha kupezeka ndi distillation ya mankhwala a methanol ndipo imathanso kupangidwa kuchokera ku distillation yamafuta amafuta amafuta. Pogwiritsa ntchito Industrial carbonyl cobalt monga chothandizira, kupanga propylene ndi carbon monoxide ndi hydrogen osakaniza anachita pa 110 ~ 140 ° C, 2.0265 × 107 ~ 3.0397 × 107Pa kupanga butyraldehyde ndi isobutyraldehyde, ndiyeno kudzera catalytic canation hydrogenation. Isobutanol imagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga mafuta owonjezera a petroleum, antioxidants, plasticizers, rabara yopangira, musk, mafuta a zipatso ndi mankhwala opangira mankhwala komanso amagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati zosungunulira ndi mankhwala opangira mankhwala.
