- n-Butyl acetate, also
known as butyl ethanoate, is an organic compound commonly used as a
solvent in the production of lacquers and other products.
- Butyl acetate is found
in many types of fruit, where along with other chemicals it imparts
characteristic flavors.
- Apples,
especially of the Red Delicious variety, are flavored in part by this
chemical.
n-Butyl acetate has three isomers: isobutyl acetate,
tert-butyl acetate, and sec-butyl acetate.
- Esters can be prepared
by the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of
a catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen chloride,
p-toluenesulfonic acid, or the acid form of an ion exchange
resin.
- n-Butyl acetate,
sec-butyl acetate, tert-butyl acetate, and isobutyl acetate were
previously collected on charcoal tubes and analyzed by
Organic Vapors.
- n-butyl acetate by
refluxing the n-butyl alcohol with an excess of acetic acid and a small
amount of sulfuric acid as a catalyst.
- The excess acetic acid
and unreacted alcohol are separated from the product by extracting them
with water using a separatory funnel.
- A colourless flammable
liquid with a fruity odour, butyl acetate is produced by the
esterification of acetic acid using butanol in the presence of a
catalyst such as sulphuric acid.
- It is also used
as a synthetic fruit flavoring in foods such as candy, ice cream,
cheeses, and baked goods.
- In recent years, the
Butyl Acetate has seen rising demand for uses as an oxygenated solvent
substitute for hazardous air pollutants , such as aromatics and
ketones.
- Long term demand may be
threatened in Asia, as policies favouring progressive reduction of
volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere come into force.
- BAC is flammable as
both a liquid and a vapour.
- It is harmful if
swallowed or inhaled and irritates the eyes, skin and respiratory
tract.
