Butanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, anhydride

Description:
Butanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, anhydride, with the CAS number 54502-37-3, is an organic compound characterized by its anhydride functional group derived from butanoic acid and 2-ethyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in condensation reactions, where it can form esters or amides. The presence of the anhydride group makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various chemical derivatives. Its solubility in organic solvents, such as ether and chloroform, allows for diverse applications in chemical processes. However, like many anhydrides, it can be corrosive and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or mucous membranes. Proper handling and safety precautions are essential when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
