Brief Overview
Known by another name, butyl ethanoate, butyl acetate is a fruity-smelling, medium-volatile chemical compound. It is present in a wide variety of fruits, where it gives them their distinct tastes and pleasant apple or banana aroma when combined with other compounds. A medium-boiling ester solvent is butyl acetate. It has a low miscibility in water but is very combustible and miscible with all basic organic solvents. In the environment, butyl acetate is a volatile substance that reacts photochemically with chlorine atoms and hydroxyl radicals.
Manufacturing Process
Butyl acetate is produced when butanol and acetic acid are esterified; sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst in this reaction. The reaction is driven to completion by the azeotropic separation of water. The ester is then purified by distillation after the acid catalyst is neutralized.
