Butyl 2-methoxyacetate

Description:

Butyl 2-methoxyacetate, with the CAS number 17640-22-1, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is characterized by its pleasant, fruity odor and is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic butyl group. Butyl 2-methoxyacetate is commonly used as a solvent in various applications, including paints, coatings, and inks, due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. The compound exhibits moderate volatility and has a relatively low toxicity profile, making it suitable for use in consumer products. However, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or prolonged skin contact. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are recommended when working with this substance to ensure safety.
