Name：Butyl Butyrate
Cas: 109-21-7
Purity: 99%
MOQ: 1KG
Butyl Butyrate belongs to the ester group of organic compounds. It is produced by the esterification of butyric and butanol with the help of a catalyst (such a concentrated sulfuric acids). Its typical ester properties are determined by the molecular structure (- COO-). It can, for example, undergo hydrolysis under acidic and alkaline conditions in order to produce carboxylic alcohols or acids.
Physically, Butyl Butyrate is a transparent colorless liquid that has a similar sweet smell to apples and pears. It has a boiling point of 164-165 degrees C and a density lower than water. It is not easily soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvants such as ethanol or ether. The moderate volatility of this compound is due to the intermolecular force and the polarity in ester groups.

Butyl butyrate is used as a plasticizer and solvent in industrial manufacturing to help with the production of plastics, coatings, and other products. In the pharmaceutical industry, it supports drug development, formulation production, and pharmaceutical excipients. As a solvent and plasticizer in industrial manufacturing, it assists in the processing and production of coatings, plastics, and other products; Supporting drug research and development and formulation production with pharmaceutical excipients and synthetic intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry; In scientific research, it serves as a standard reagent to provide basic support for chemical and analytical testing.
Butyl butyrate, a synthetic flavoring recognized by the Codex Alimentarius Commission as an edible flavoring in the food industry (FEMA 2214), is used to enhance the taste of foods. It is found in many fruits, including bananas, apples pears pineapples and honey. It has a mild, fruity aroma with an ester sweetness. It is used in many products as a flavoring agent, or as a synergistic agent, to enhance fruity flavors. This includes sodas (such as fruit juice soda), candy (both soft candy and hard candy), cakes (especially crispy Dim Sum), yogurt, jam, candied fruits, etc.
Butyl butyrate is a key ingredient in many everyday chemical products. Its pleasant, non-irritating aroma (not sharp and suitable for many flavor styles) makes butyl butyrate a popular ingredient in essence formulas. It is used in personal care products to blend essences of perfumes, colognes (especially for the new summer style), shampoos, conditioners, skin lotions, hand creams, soaps, and bath gels. This can give the product a fresh and natural fruity base and can also be integrated with other fragrances such as wood, flower, and fruit fragrances.
Butyl butyrate is used in industrial manufacturing as both a plasticizer and a solvent. This is due to its good solubility and moderate rate of volatilization. It is a good solvent for various resins, including nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate. It is used to make nitrocellulose paints (such as metal anti-corrosion, wood paints), acrylic paints (used in many automotive repair paints), printing inks (especially gravure inks), and adhesives. It can regulate viscosity, drying speed, and glossiness of paint films. It improves the flowability, flexibility and low-temperature resistance of products.
Butyl butyrate can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient in the preparation of drugs. Its low toxicity, and biocompatibility make it a valuable ingredient. It can be used in the preparation of drugs as an excipient. In oral liquid preparations such as traditional Chinese medicine preparations and syrups, it is used to increase liquid viscosity to ensure dosage accuracy. In topical creams, ointments and other preparations it is used to dissolve oil-soluble drug components, including anti-inflammatory lipid-soluble components, as well as as a transdermal enhancer. It can reduce drug penetration resistance by altering the stratum corneum of the skin. This also improves transdermal drug absorption and increases drug efficacy. In some ester-exchange reactions, for example, it can be used as a reaction medium or solvent. This provides process support to drug development and mass production. Its reaction by-products can be easily separated, improving synthesis efficiency.
Butyl butyrate, a chemical reagent that is commonly used in laboratories for scientific research and experiments, can be used as an analytical standard. It can be used in organic chemistry as a reaction medium (suitable to esterification reactions and condensation reactions). It can be used in organic chemistry research as a liquid-liquid extraction agent (to separate small organic molecules from aqueous solution), or as a model compound to investigate the synthesis mechanisms of ester compounds, biodegradation paths (such microbial degradation of esters), as well as basic chemical problems, such as thermal instability.
