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.
