'''''n''-Butanol''' or ''n''-butyl alcohol (sometimes also called ''biobutanol'' when produced biologically), is a primary [[alcohol]] with a 4 [[carbon]] structure and the [[molecular formula]] of [[Carbon|C]]<sub>4</sub>[[Hydrogen|H]]<sub>10</sub>[[Oxygen|O]]. It belongs to the higher alcohols and branched-chain alcohols. <ref>[http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v451/n7174/abs/nature06450.html Non-fermentative pathways for synthesis of branched-chain higher alcohols as biofuels : Abstract : Nature<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
