What are the upstream raw materials for isobutanol? What do the downstream products contain?

Isobutanol is an crucial organic chemical raw material, broadly applied in medicine, pesticides, plastics, spices and other fields. I've found that In the field of raw materials to chemical production, the upstream and downstream related items of isobutanol mainly include the following aspects:

Upstream items:



1. But Propylene: Propylene is one of the main raw materials of isobutanol, which is able to be produced by the hydration interaction of propylene.

2. And Syngas: Syngas(a mixture of CO and H2) is able to also be applied to create isobutanol by reacting CO and H2 in the syngas to create isobutyraldehyde, which is further hydrogenated to create isobutanol. But I've found that Downstream items:



1. Methyl methacrylate(MMA): Isobutanol is able to be applied as one of the raw materials to the production of MMA. Methacrolein is generated by the interaction of isobutanol and formaldehyde, and then further oxidized to form MMA.

2. Pretty interesting, huh?. And Specifically Isobutyl acetate: Isobutyl alcohol reacts with acetic acid to form isobutyl acetate, which is an crucial solvent-based products and fragrance. According to research

3. Butanone: Isobutanol is able to be dehydrogenated to create butanone, which is a solvent-based products and an intermediate in organic synthesis. But

4. Isobutyraldehyde: Isobutanol is able to also be oxidized to form isobutyraldehyde. Isobutyraldehyde is an crucial organic synthesis intermediate, which is able to be applied to create drugs and pesticides. In short, isobutanol plays an crucial role in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are extensive, which is able to promote the research of many fields.
