CAS 107-92-6

Butyric acid

Description:

Butyric acid, with the CAS number 107-92-6, is a short-chain fatty acid characterized by its four-carbon structure and the molecular formula C4H8O2. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a pungent odor reminiscent of rancid butter, which is where its name is derived. Butyric acid is soluble in water, ethanol, and ether, making it versatile in various chemical applications. It is a naturally occurring compound found in animal fats and plant oils, and it plays a significant role in the metabolism of fats in the human body. In addition to its biological significance, butyric acid is used in the production of various esters for flavoring and fragrance in the food and cosmetic industries. It also serves as a precursor in the synthesis of several chemical compounds and has applications in pharmaceuticals and as a potential therapeutic agent for gastrointestinal health. Its properties include being a weak acid, with a pKa value indicating its ability to donate protons in solution, contributing to its reactivity in organic synthesis.

Butyric acid

CAS: 107-92-6

Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid that is produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates in the colon and it is an important energy source for cells in the colon. It can be found in sodium salts, such as sodium butyrate, or as a free acid. Butyric acid has been shown to have physiological effects on the bowel disease, including improving symptoms of diarrhea and constipation. It also helps to maintain a healthy gut by preventing the growth of unwanted bacteria. Butyric acid inhibits certain enzymes, such as glutamine synthetase, which is important for energy metabolism. The chemical pesticide DDT has been shown to inhibit butyric acid production in cells.
