1,2-Butylene carbonate is an
organic compound with formula C
5H
8O
3, or (H5C2)(C2H3)(CO3). It is a double
ester with the
carbonate
functional group
bonded to both free ends of the
1,2-butylene group. It is also a
heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring, and can be seen as a derivative of
dioxolane, specifically 4-ethyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one.
1,2-Butylene carbonate is a polar aprotic solvent, which has been considered for electric battery applications (as a cheaper alternative to ionic liquids) and many other uses. [1]
