2-Butoxyethanol (MF: C₆H₁₄O₂ MW: 118.17), an important alcohol ether compound produced by the etherification reaction of ethylene glycol and n-butanol. It exhibits dual chemical properties of both alcohols and ethers, possesses good stability, is resistant to decomposition at room temperature, and combines moderate water solubility with organic solvent compatibility. Consequently, it is one of the commonly used “universal solvents” in industry.
