3-(2-Butoxyethoxy)propanoic acid

Description:

3-(2-Butoxyethoxy)propanoic acid, with the CAS number 7420-07-7, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a propanoic acid moiety linked to a butoxyethoxy group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions in its molecular structure. It exhibits properties typical of carboxylic acids, such as the ability to donate protons (H+) in solution, which contributes to its acidity. The butoxyethoxy group enhances its surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent or emulsifier in formulations. Additionally, it may have applications in the production of coatings, adhesives, and other chemical products. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are taken during use.
