Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name2-Butoxyethanol
Description2-Butoxyethanol, also known as butylcellosolve or 3-oxa-1-heptanol, is a primary alcohol and it also belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkyl ethers. These are organic compounds containing the dialkyl ether functional group, with the formula ROR', where R and R' are alkyl groups. 2-Butoxyethanol is used in food processing as a processing aid, sanitizer, and solvent. 2-Butoxyethanol is an organic solvent with the formula C6H14O2. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet, ether-like odour. It is a butyl ether of ethylene glycol but should not be confused with it. The main use of 2-butoxyethanol is as a solvent in paints and surface coatings, followed by cleaning products and inks. Other products which contain 2-butoxyethanol include acrylic resin formulations, asphalt release agents, firefighting foam, leather protectors, oil spill dispersants, bowling pin and lane degreaser, and photographic strip solutions. 2-Butoxyethanol is a primary ingredient of various whiteboard cleaners, liquid soaps, cosmetics, dry cleaning solutions, lacquers, varnishes, herbicides, and latex paints. 2-Butoxyethanol has also been found in the volatile fraction of Cannabis sativa (PMID: 26657499 ).
