Isobutyl laurate

Description:
Isobutyl laurate, with the CAS number 37811-72-6, is an ester formed from the reaction of isobutanol and lauric acid. It is characterized by its relatively low molecular weight and is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. This compound has a pleasant, mild odor, making it suitable for use in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in cosmetic formulations. Isobutyl laurate is known for its emulsifying and solubilizing properties, which enhance the stability and texture of products. It has a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity, which contributes to its safety profile in consumer products. Its chemical structure includes a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain, which influences its behavior in formulations, particularly in terms of spreading and absorption. Overall, isobutyl laurate is valued for its functional properties in both industrial and personal care applications.
