Basic Info
Butyl levulinate is an organic ester compound with a chemical formula of C₉H₁₆O₃. It is prepared by esterification of levulinic acid and n-butanol. Its molecular structure contains acetyl, carbonyl and butyl side chains, which makes it have both the common properties of ester compounds and unique chemical activity. The compound is mostly a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid at room temperature, with a certain volatility. Its physical properties such as boiling point and viscosity are closely related to its molecular structure. Its chemical properties are relatively stable, but it is prone to hydrolysis under strong acid, strong alkali or high temperature conditions.

•In the Field of Spices and Flavors
Butyl levulinate is often used as a raw material for the blending of edible flavors and daily flavors in the spice industry because of its mild fruity aroma and the sweet and mellow smell unique to esters (similar to the complex aroma of pineapple and apple). Its volatility and odor persistence make it suitable for flavor addition to soft drinks, candies, baked goods, etc., which can give the products a natural and soft fruity layering. At the same time, in the fragrance formula of perfumes and toiletries, it can be used as a middle or tail fragrance to enhance the coordination of the fragrance and the duration of the fragrance.
•In the Field of Organic Synthesis and Pharmaceutical Intermediates
As a bifunctional compound containing carbonyl and ester groups, butyl levulinate is an important organic synthesis intermediate. It can be used to prepare pharmaceutical intermediates through reactions such as ester exchange, reduction, and condensation. For example, it can be used as an acyl donor or carbon chain building block in the synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics; it can also be used to synthesize polyester compounds, or introduce functional groups such as hydroxyl and amino groups through chemical reactions of carbonyl groups, and then prepare fine chemicals with specific biological activities.
•Solvent and Coating Industry
Due to its good solubility for resins, polymers, etc., moderate volatilization rate and low toxicity, butyl levulinate can be used as an environmentally friendly solvent in coatings, inks and adhesive systems. It can effectively dissolve solutes such as acrylic resins and cellulose derivatives, improve the fluidity and construction performance of film-forming substances, and is particularly suitable for water-based coating auxiliary solvent systems that have requirements for odor and VOC emissions, or as a slow-drying solvent for printing inks to adjust the drying speed.
•Plastic Plasticizers and Materials
In the plastics industry, butyl levulinate can be used as an environmentally friendly plasticizer in materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and cellulose plastics. The long carbon chain butyl side chain in its molecular structure can be inserted between polymer molecular chains, weakening the intermolecular forces, thereby improving the flexibility and ductility of the material; compared with traditional phthalate plasticizers, it has better biodegradability and can be used to prepare environmentally friendly packaging materials, medical polymer products, etc.
•Biofuel and lubricant Additives
As a derivative of biomass conversion, butyl levulinate can be used as a blending component of biodiesel or a lubricant additive. Its high flash point and good thermal stability make it suitable for improving the combustion performance and low-temperature fluidity of biodiesel; when added to lubricating oil, it can enhance the oil film strength through the polar adsorption of the ester group, and at the same time has certain antioxidant and biodegradability, which is suitable for environmentally friendly lubricant formulations.
