Ethyl 4-hydroxybutanoate

Description:

Ethyl 4-hydroxybutanoate, with the CAS number 999-10-0, is an ester derived from the reaction of 4-hydroxybutanoic acid and ethanol. This compound is characterized by its molecular formula, which typically includes carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, reflecting its structure as an ester. Ethyl 4-hydroxybutanoate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound is known for its potential applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which warrants further investigation in the context of medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
