:Butanoic acid, 4-cyano-, ethyl ester
Description:
Butanoic acid, 4-cyano-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 4-cyanobutanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from butanoic acid and cyanoacetic acid. It features a butanoic acid backbone with a cyano group (-CN) positioned at the fourth carbon, and an ethyl group (-C2H5) attached to the carboxylic acid part of the molecule. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it potentially useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic nature. The presence of the cyano group introduces polar characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in chemical processes. Butanoic acid, 4-cyano-, ethyl ester can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions, making it valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
