Butanoic acid, 4-hydroxy-, phenylmethyl ester

Description:

Butanoic acid, 4-hydroxy-, phenylmethyl ester, also known as benzyl 4-hydroxybutanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from butanoic acid and benzyl alcohol. This compound features a butanoic acid backbone with a hydroxyl group at the fourth carbon position, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, making it suitable for use in fragrances and flavoring agents. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents, while the ester group provides it with distinct chemical properties, such as susceptibility to hydrolysis. This compound may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. Its CAS number, 91970-62-6, allows for easy identification in chemical databases and regulatory documents. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
