2-Ethoxybutanoic acid

Description:
2-Ethoxybutanoic acid, with the CAS number 56674-70-5, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and an ethoxy substituent on the second carbon of a butanoic acid chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group. Its molecular structure includes a four-carbon backbone, which contributes to its moderate volatility and reactivity. 2-Ethoxybutanoic acid is known for its potential applications in various fields, including as a solvent, in chemical synthesis, and possibly in agrochemical formulations. The presence of the ethoxy group enhances its solubility and may influence its interaction with biological systems. As with many organic acids, it may exhibit acidic properties, capable of donating protons in solution, and can participate in esterification reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
