Beschreibung

Butyl laurate is an amide that is a light-sensitive compound. It belongs to the group of flavonol glycosides and can be found in plants such as Citrus aurantium, Eucalyptus globulus, and Lavandula officinalis. Butyl laurate has been shown to have antioxidant activity due to its ability to inhibit the oxidation of linoleic acid. The butyl group is responsible for the high reactivity of butyl laurate. The butyl group has a higher degree of unsaturation which allows for more hydrogen bonding with other molecules. This makes butyl laurate more soluble in water than other amides with hydrocarbon chains (e.g., ethyl lactate). Butyl laurate also undergoes less chemical reactions because it lacks an oxygen atom on either end of its hydrocarbon chain. This makes it less likely that the molecule will undergo a peroxidation reaction, which would result in the
