Application

1,2,4-Butanetriol is a key intermediate in the synthesis of energetic materials such as 1,2,4-butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN), a low-sensitivity propellant plasticizer. It also functions as a humectant and viscosity modifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Researchers employ it as a chiral synthon in asymmetric organic synthesis and as a cross-linker in polyurethane and epoxy resin systems. Its biocompatibility makes it suitable for biomedical applications, including drug delivery platforms.
