Butyl valerate

Description:
Butyl valerate, with the CAS number 591-68-4, is an ester formed from butanol and valeric acid. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity odor, which makes it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low volatility. Butyl valerate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its chemical structure features a butyl group (C4H9) attached to a valerate moiety (C5H9O2), contributing to its ester characteristics. The substance is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in perfumes, and as a solvent in chemical processes. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered low in toxicity, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed to minimize exposure.
