α-Naphthyl butyrate

Description:

α-Naphthyl butyrate is an ester derived from butyric acid and α-naphthol. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a naphthalene ring and a butyrate group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is known for its applications in various fields, including as a substrate in enzymatic assays, particularly for the detection of certain enzymes like butyrylcholinesterase. α-Naphthyl butyrate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, which is a common trait for many esters. Its stability under normal conditions makes it suitable for laboratory use, although it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties. Additionally, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the release of α-naphthol and butyric acid. Overall, α-Naphthyl butyrate serves as an important compound in biochemical research and industrial applications.

α-Naphthyl butyrate

CAS: 3121-70-8

Alpha-naphthyl butyrate is a monomer of polybutyrate and is used as an intermediate in the production of polybutylene terephthalate. This product is also used for biological studies and has been shown to have acute toxicities. Alpha-naphthyl butyrate has been shown to inhibit esterase and enzyme activities, and it is more toxic than butyric acid. Alpha-naphthyl butyrate can be used for the diagnosis of certain types of chronic viral hepatitis, such as hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus, by detecting human immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against this compound.
