:Butyl octanoate
Description:
Butyl octanoate, with the CAS number 589-75-3, is an ester formed from the reaction of butanol and octanoic acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, making it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. The substance is relatively non-toxic and has low volatility, which contributes to its stability in various applications. Butyl octanoate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its boiling point is higher than that of many simple esters, and it exhibits a moderate density. This compound is often used as a solvent, plasticizer, and in the formulation of perfumes and flavorings. Additionally, it can serve as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that while it poses minimal health risks under normal handling conditions, appropriate precautions should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure. Overall, butyl octanoate is valued for its pleasant aroma and versatility in industrial applications.
