Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate

Description:

Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is an ester derived from the reaction of ethyl alcohol and 3-hydroxybutyric acid. It is characterized by its molecular formula, which typically includes carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, reflecting its structure as an ester. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it appealing for use in flavoring and fragrance applications. Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water, which is common for many esters. It is known for its role in metabolic processes, particularly in the context of ketone body metabolism, and has garnered interest in nutritional and pharmaceutical research. Additionally, it may possess potential applications in the synthesis of biodegradable polymers and as a precursor in various chemical reactions. Safety data indicates that, while it should be handled with care, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. Proper storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
