| Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | Ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate is a clear colorless viscous liquid and has a fresh, fruity, grape odor. It is one of the main aroma components of wine. It occurs naturally in fruits such as pineapple, tamarillo fruit, caja fruit and naranjilla fruit. | Occurrence | Reported found in passion fruit, rum, sherry, wine, orange juice, guava, pineapple, tea, mango, wood apple,
mountain papaya, naranjilla fruit, quince and hog plum (Spondias mombins L.) | Uses | Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is a fragrance found in wine and Tribolium castaneum. It is a reagent used to synthesize α-azido carboxylic acids. It is also used in Palladium mediated spiroketal synthesis. | Definition | ChEBI: Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is the fatty acid ethyl ester of 3-hydroxybutyric acid. It has a role as a metabolite. It derives from a 3-hydroxybutyric acid. | Preparation | Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation of ethyl acetoacetate. | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: green, fruity and winy. | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 35, p. 3966, 1970 DOI: 10.1021/jo00836a087 Tetrahedron Letters, 31, p. 1615, 1990 DOI: 10.1016/0040-4039(90)80031-G | General Description | Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is a clear colorless liquid. (NTP, 1992) | Air & Water Reactions | Water soluble. | Reactivity Profile | Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. | Fire Hazard | Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is combustible. |
