CAS 77-94-1

Tributyl citrate

Description:

Tributyl citrate, with the CAS number 77-94-1, is an organic compound classified as a triester of citric acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is odorless or has a mild, fruity scent. This compound is known for its excellent plasticizing properties, making it widely used in the production of plastics, particularly polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Tributyl citrate is also recognized for its low toxicity and biodegradability, which makes it a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional phthalate plasticizers. In addition to its role in plastics, it serves as a solvent and emulsifier in various applications, including food and cosmetic formulations. Its chemical structure consists of three butyl groups esterified to a citric acid backbone, contributing to its functionality and versatility. Due to its favorable safety profile, tributyl citrate is often utilized in products that come into contact with food and personal care items. Overall, its combination of plasticizing ability, low toxicity, and environmental compatibility makes tributyl citrate a valuable compound in multiple industries.

Tributyl Citrate

CAS: 77-94-1

Tributyl Citrate is a catalyst used in organic synthesis. It is typically used as a reaction solvent and to increase the rate of reactions. Tributyl Citrate reacts with water to produce citric acid, which can then be used as an acidic catalyst. In addition, Tributyl Citrate has been shown to have anticancer properties and is being studied for use in bowel disease and autoimmune diseases. The mechanism of this drug's anticancer properties is not fully understood, but it may have something to do with the ability of Tributyl Citrate to bind water molecules and alter their permeability through cell membranes.
