N-BUTYL (S)-2-HYDROXYBUTYRATE

Description:
N-Butyl (S)-2-hydroxybutyrate is an ester compound characterized by its structure, which includes a butyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to a butyric acid derivative. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic butyl group. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a chiral building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. N-Butyl (S)-2-hydroxybutyrate may also exhibit properties such as low volatility and moderate viscosity, making it suitable for various applications in chemical formulations. Additionally, its chirality can influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems, which is significant in the context of drug development and design. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
