Description

Isobutyl acetate is an organic compound that is used in the synthesis of other chemicals and as a solvent. Isobutyl acetate is synthesized by reacting ethyl decanoate with water vapor, a reaction that requires constant pressure. The product of this reaction has a fatty acid chain with a hydroxyl group on the third carbon atom. This hydroxyl group reacts with caproic acid to form an ester. Isobutyl acetate is acidic, which can be seen in its biochemical properties. It also has an acidic complex, which consists of the conjugated carboxylic acid and the hydroxyl group. The methyl ethyl group is connected to the second carbon atom from the alcohol group. Wild-type strains have been shown to be more reactive than mutants, so Isobutyl acetate is reactive when it interacts with certain substances.
