DETAIL
14BG (1,4-Butanediol) is a straight chain glycol with hydroxyl groups on both ends. It is used as a raw material for high performance polyester and polyurethane resins as well as for industrial chemicals like tetrahydrofuran and gamma-butyrolactone. 

Application:
1,4-Butanediol can be used as a reactant to prepare:
Homoallyl alcohol (3-buten-1-ol) and tetrahydrofuran via vapor-phase dehydration using ZrO2 as a catalyst.

Poly(1,4-butanediol succinate) polymer by reacting with succinic anhydride.

Biodegradable homopolyesters [poly(butylene succinate) and poly(butylene adipate)] and copolyesters [poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate)] by treating with succinic acid and adipic acid via esterification and deglycolization reaction.

Poly(1,4-butyl sebacate) by polyesterification reaction with sebacic acid or its derivatives.
