CAS 557-25-5: 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl butanoate

Description: 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl butanoate, with the CAS number 557-25-5, is an ester formed from butanoic acid and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The molecular structure features a butanoate group, which contributes to its ester characteristics, and the two hydroxyl groups provide potential for reactivity, particularly in condensation reactions or as a site for further functionalization. 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl butanoate may be used in various applications, including as a plasticizer, surfactant, or in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic chemicals, to avoid skin and eye contact, and it should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
