Secondary butyl alcohol is used in solvents and in esters to a limited extent; larger amounts are oxidized to methyl ethyl ketone, an important solvent for the manufacture of plastics, fabrics, and explosives. 
Similar to n-butyl alcohol, Secondary butyl alcohol is used in solvents and in plasticizers. 
Secondary butyl alcohol's esters are also used in fruit flavourings. 
Secondary butyl alcohol is also used as a solvent and as a denaturing agent for ethyl alcohol. 
In smaller quantities Secondary butyl alcohol is used in flavourings and in perfumes.

Secondary butyl alcohol is an organic compound with formula CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3. 
Secondary butyl alcohol's structural isomers are 1-butanol. isobutanol, and tert-butanol. 
Secondary butyl alcohol is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)-(−)-2-butanol and (S)-(+)-2-butanol. 
Secondary butyl alcohol is normally encountered as a 1:1 mixture of the two stereoisomers — a racemic mixture.

2-Butanol is a flammable, colorless liquid that is soluble in three parts water and completely miscible with organic solvents. 
2-Butanol is produced on a large scale, primarily as a precursor to the industrial solvent methyl ethyl ketone.
2-Butanol is a natural product found in Aloe africana, Cichorium endivia, and other organisms with data available.
2-Butanol appears as a clear colorless liquid with an alcohol odor. 
Flash point below 0° F. 
Less dense than water. 
Vapors heavier than air. 
Soluble in water. 
Moderately irritates the eyes and skin. 
Prolonged and repeated contact may cause defatting and drying of the skin. 
Vapors may irritate the nose, throat and respiratory tract. 
May be harmful by ingestion.

Secondary butyl alcohol is a secondary alcohol that is butane substituted by a hydroxy group at position 2. 
Secondary butyl alcohol derives from a hydride of a butane

Applications of Secondary butyl alcohol
Secondary butyl alcohol is manufactured industrially by the hydration of 1-butene or 2-butene:
Sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst for this conversion.[6]
In the laboratory Secondary butyl alcohol can be prepared via Grignard reaction by reacting ethylmagnesium bromide with acetaldehyde in dried diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran.
Although some 2-butanol is used as a solvent, it is mainly converted to butanone (methyl ethyl ketone, MEK), an important industrial solvent and found in many domestic cleaning agents and paint removers. 
Though most paint removers have ceased using MEK in their products due to health concerns and new laws. 
Volatile esters of 2-butanol have pleasant aromas and are used in small amounts as perfumes or in artificial flavors.
Although some 2-butanol is used as a solvent, most of the annual production is converted to butanone ("MEK"), which is an important industrial solvent found in many domestic cleaning agents and paint removers.  
Volatile esters of 2-butanol have pleasant aromas and are used in small amounts as perfumes or in artificial flavors.

Precautions of Secondary butyl alcohol
Like other butanols, 2-butanol has low acute toxicity. 
The LD50 is 4400 mg/kg (rat, oral).
Several explosions have been reported during the conventional distillation of 2-butanol, apparently due to the buildup of peroxides with the boiling point higher than that of pure alcohol (and therefore concentrating in the still pot during distillation). 
As alcohols, unlike ethers, are not widely known to be capable of forming peroxide impurities, the danger is likely to be overlooked.

For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Small spills/leaks: Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. 
Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. 
Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. 
Provide ventilation. 
A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
Stability: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.

Production of Secondary butyl alcohol
Secondary butyl alcohol 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. 
Secondary butyl alcohol is normally found as an equal mixture of the two stereoisomers — referred to as a racemic mixture.  
Secondary butyl alcohol is manufactured industrially by the hydration of 1-butene or 2-butene using sulfuric acid as a catalyst for this conversion.

Background of Secondary butyl alcohol
There are four isomeric structures for butanol:
First, the unmodified term, butanol, usually refers to the straight chain isomer with the alcohol functional group at the terminal carbon, which is also known as n-butanol or 1-butanol. 
Second is the straight chain isomer with the alcohol at an internal carbon is sec-butanol or 2-butanol. 
Third is the branched isomer with the alcohol at a terminal carbon is isobutanol, or 2-methyl-1-propanol. 
And finally, the branched isomer with the alcohol at the internal carbon is tert-butanol,  or 2-methyl-2-propanol.
Butanol isomers, due to their different structures, have somewhat different melting and boiling points.  
Secondary butyl alcohol and isobutanol have limited solubility, while the other two isomers are fully miscible with water.  
This is because all alcohols have a hydroxyl group which makes them polar which in turn tends to promote solubility in water.  
At the same time, the carbon chain of the alcohol resists solubility in water. 
Methanol, ethanol, and propanol are fully miscible with water, while Secondary butyl alcohol is only moderately miscible because of the balance between the two opposing solubility trends.

Precautions OF Secondary butyl alcohol
Like many alcohols, 2-butanol is considered toxic. 
Secondary butyl alcohol has shown a low order of toxicity in single dose experiments to laboratory animals and is considered safe enough for use in cosmetics. 
Brief, repeated overexposure with the skin can result in depression of the central nervous system, as with other short-chain alcohols.  
Exposure may also cause severe eye irritation and moderate skin irritation.  
The main dangers are from prolonged exposure to fumes.  
In extreme cases this includes suppression of the central nervous system and even death.  
Under most circumstances, butanol is quickly metabolized to carbon dioxide.  
Secondary butyl alcohol has not been shown to damage DNA or cause cancer.
