:B-naphthyl butyrate
Description:
B-naphthyl butyrate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, formed from the reaction of butyric acid and B-naphthol. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. This compound is known for its role as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly in the study of esterases and lipases, as it can be hydrolyzed to release B-naphthol, which can be detected spectrophotometrically. B-naphthyl butyrate is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. Its stability under normal conditions makes it useful in various applications, including research and industrial processes. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use. Overall, B-naphthyl butyrate serves as a valuable tool in both synthetic and analytical chemistry.

2-Naphthyl butyrate
CAS:<p>2-Naphthyl butyrate is used as a chromogenic substrate in hematological studies via measuring esterase activity. This type of assays are important as it can help in distinguishing acute leukemias with monocytic or granulocytic differentiation. After hydrolysis of 2-naphthyl butyrate by the esterase (for example acylase), b-napthol is released that can be quantified spectrophotometrically (Exc 320 nm; Em 410 nm).</p>Formula:C14H14O2Purity:Min. 98 Area-%Color and Shape:Colorless Clear LiquidMolecular weight:214.26 g/mol2-Naphthyl Butyrate
