Vinyl n-butyl ether, an ether compound with unsaturated double bonds in its structure, is mainly deployed as a polymerization monomer for manufacturing polymeric materials. It also finds application in organic synthesis to yield fine chemicals including 1-butoxyethanol.
Additionally, it can serve as a starting material for drug carrier polymers within the pharmaceutical sector, and is used in modest amounts as a fuel additive and paint diluent.
