n-Butylsulfate

Description:

n-Butylsulfate, with the CAS number 15507-13-8, is an organic sulfate ester derived from butanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its hygroscopic nature, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. This compound is characterized by its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in water, which can vary depending on the specific formulation. n-Butylsulfate is often used as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in various industrial applications, including detergents, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Its chemical structure features a butyl group attached to a sulfate moiety, contributing to its surface-active properties. Additionally, n-Butylsulfate can participate in various chemical reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis. However, it is essential to handle this substance with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure, necessitating appropriate safety measures during its use and storage.
