CAS: 109-21-7

Ref. 3D-AAA10921

Product Information

• Name: Butyl butyrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Butyl butyrate is a colorless liquid that has a pleasant odor. It is used in the production of biofuels and as an organic solvent, as well as a flavorant and fragrance. The compound can be found in many fruits such as apples and oranges, where it is responsible for their distinctive smell. Butyl butyrate has been shown to have binding properties with odorants. It reacts with hydrogen fluoride (HF) in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form sodium butyrate, which is used in the manufacture of polyester polymers. Butyl butyrate also participates in the process optimization of polymerase chain reactions by enhancing the efficiency of DNA amplification.
