Isobutane is a great refrigerant for small charge systems.
The permissible charge is being increased for many flammable refrigerants.

R-290 (Propane) is another that is being utilized as an R-22 replacement. Very similar operating characteristics and pressure to R-22 and small A/C systems have been utilizing this for a while overseas.

My basement fridge (LG) is charged with Isobutane and I think the chest freezer is too.
