Butanoic acid, 4-oxo-, ethyl ester

Description:

Butanoic acid, 4-oxo-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 4-oxobutanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from butanoic acid and 4-oxo substituent. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions in its molecular structure. Its molecular formula reflects the presence of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. Butanoic acid derivatives, including this ester, are often utilized in the production of flavoring agents, fragrances, and as intermediates in chemical synthesis. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

Ethyl 4-oxobutanoate

CAS: 10138-10-0

Ethyl 4-oxobutanoate is a volatile compound that belongs to the group of organic compounds. It has an unpleasant odor and taste, which may be due to its deamination. It is also classified as a glutamic acid derivative because it is synthesised from L-glutamic acid. Ethyl 4-oxobutanoate has been shown to have antibacterial properties against Gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus and listeria monocytogenes. The antimicrobial activity of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate is related to its ability to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by deaminating L-glutamic acid and forming an adduct with the ribosome.
