Basic Info
The chemical formula of ethyl butyroacetate (C8H14O3) is C8H14O3, and the CAS number for it is 3249-68-1. It is a pale yellow to colorless liquid with a fruity scent and a light oily odor. It is slightly soluble, but it’s soluble with organic solvents like chloroform and ethyl-acetate. Its physical properties include a boiling point of approximately 104°C (22 mmHg), a melting point of -44°C, a density of approximately 0.989 g/mL (25°C), and a flash point of 78°C.
This compound belongs to the β -keto ester class. Structurally, it contains an ester group and a ketone group, which endows it with high reactivity in organic synthesis. It is usually obtained by decarboxylation after condensation of diethyl malonate with propionyl chloride. Due to its stable chemical properties, ethyl butyroacetate can be safely stored at normal temperature and pressure, but it should be kept away from strong oxidants.

•The field of pharmaceutical and chemical engineering
In pharmaceutical synthesis, ethyl butyroacetate is an important intermediate and can be used to prepare a variety of drugs and bioactive molecules. For instance, the active sites in its keto-ester structure facilitate the introduction of various functional groups to participate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds (such as pyridine and pyrimidine derivatives), which are often used as key structural units of antibacterial drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs or anti-tumor drugs. In addition, it can also be used to synthesize certain amino acid derivatives, providing structural diversity for the design of drug molecules and facilitating the development and research of new drugs.
•Spice and flavor industry
Ethyl butyryl acetate has a special aroma characteristic and is often used as a raw material for the blending of edible flavorings and daily chemical fragrances.Moreover, due to its good stability, it can maintain a long-lasting fragrance in different media and is one of the commonly used fixatives and enhancers by perfumers.
•Synthesis of pesticides and bioactive substances
In the field of pesticides, ethyl butyroacetate is an important intermediate for the synthesis of insecticides and fungicides. Through the chemical reaction of its keto-ester groups, molecular structures with specific biological activities can be constructed. For example, pyrethroid insecticides containing keto-ester skeletons can be prepared to enhance the contact killing and stomach toxicity of the drugs against pests.
•Organic synthesis and Materials Chemistry
As a multifunctional reagent in organic synthesis, ethyl butyryl acetate can participate in a variety of classical reactions, such as Claisen Condensation and Michael Addition, and is used to construct complex organic molecular skeletons. In the field of materials chemistry, it can be used as a monomer or intermediate to participate in the synthesis of polymer materials. For instance, by copolymerizing with other olefin monomers, it can endow polymers with specific polar groups or reactive sites, improving the solubility, thermal stability or mechanical properties of the materials, and is applied in the preparation of coatings, adhesives and functional polymer materials.
