quality
2-methylbutyl butyrate is an organic compound. Known as methyl valerate or isoamyl, it is a colorless liquid with the aroma of fruits and liquor. Here are some of the main properties of butyrate-2-methylbutyl ester:
1. Solubility: Butyric-2-methylbutyl ester has good solubility in a variety of organic solvents, such as ethanol, ethers and non-polar solvents.
3. Density: The density of butyrate-2-methylbutyl ester is about 0.87 g/cm³.
4. Insoluble: butyric acid-2-methylbutyl ester is insoluble in water, forming an immiscible two-phase system with water.
5. Chemical reaction: Butyric-2-methylbutyl ester can be hydrolyzed by acid or alkali to produce butyric acid and two different compounds. It can also undergo transesterification to esterify other alcohols or acids to form different esters.
2-methylbutyl butyrate is widely used in industry in the fields of synthetic flavors, solvents and coatings. As an organic compound, it also has a certain toxicity and flammability, so it needs to be handled safely.
