1,3-Butanediol is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH. With two alcohol functional groups, the molecule is classified as a diol. The compound is also chiral, but most studies do not distinguish the enantiomers. The compound is a colorless, bittersweet, water-soluble liquid. It is one of four common structural isomers of butanediol.[1][2][3] It is used in flavoring,[4] and as a precursor to some antibiotics.[5]

Production and uses
editHydrogenation of 3-hydroxybutanal gives 1,3-butanediol:[6]
- CH3CH(OH)CH2CHO H2 → CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH
Dehydration of 1,3-butanediol gives 1,3-butadiene:
- CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2OH → CH2=CH-CH=CH2 2 H2O
Pharmacology
edit1,3-Butanediol has sedative, hypotensive and hypoglycaemic action comparable to ethanol, with the (R) enantiomer being more active.[7][8] Fatty acid esters of 1,3-butanediol such as the acetoacetate, lactate or hexanoate have been researched for inducing ketogenesis.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
Occurrence
edit1,3-Butanediol has been detected in green bell peppers, orange bell peppers, pepper (Capsicum annuum), red bell peppers, and yellow bell peppers.[16] 1,3 Butanediol, | quote = Also referred to as 1,3-Butylene glycol, maintains FDA GRAS status as a flavor molecule.[17]
