CAS 592-84-7: Butyl formate

Description:Butyl formate, with the CAS number 592-84-7, is an ester formed from butanol and formic acid. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The substance is moderately soluble in water and highly soluble in organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various chemical processes. Butyl formate has a relatively low boiling point, indicating it can easily evaporate at room temperature, which is a typical property of esters. It is flammable and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. In terms of chemical reactivity, butyl formate can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, reverting to its parent alcohol and acid. It is often used as a solvent in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Additionally, its pleasant aroma makes it a candidate for use in the production of perfumes and flavoring agents in the food industry.
