Butanoic acid, 4-amino-, 1-methylethyl ester, hydrochloride

Description:

Butanoic acid, 4-amino-, 1-methylethyl ester, hydrochloride, commonly referred to as a butanoic acid derivative, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of an amino group. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the hydrochloride salt form, which enhances its solubility compared to the free base. The presence of the butanoic acid moiety contributes to its fatty acid characteristics, while the amino group can impart basic properties and potential for biological activity. Its esterification with isobutyl alcohol (1-methylethyl) suggests it may have applications in pharmaceuticals or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The hydrochloride form indicates that it is a salt, which can influence its stability and reactivity. As with many amine-containing compounds, it may exhibit basicity and can participate in various chemical reactions, including acylation and alkylation. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential toxicity, as with all chemical substances.
