| | Butyl isovalerate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Butyl isovalerate has an odor reminiscent of the isobutyl ester with a sweet, apple-like taste. | | Chemical Properties | Butyl Isovalerate is a clear liquid. | | Occurrence | Reported found in the oil from leaves of Eriostemon coxii and Phebalium dentatum; also in apricot, banana,
cheeses, olive and plum. | | Preparation | By prolonged boiling of the acid with n-butyl alcohol in benzene in the presence of concentrated H2SO4. | | Definition | ChEBI: Butyl 3-methylbutanoate is a fatty acid ester. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: fruity, sweet, pineapple, ripe, musty and green with a slight cheesy nuance. | | Potential Exposure | May be used as a specialty solvent;
food additive | | Shipping | UN3272 Ethers, n.o.s., Hazard class: 3; Labels:
3—Flammable liquid. UN1993 Flammable liquids, n.o.s.,
Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3—Flammable liquid, Technical
Name Required | | Incompatibilities | Vapor may form explosive mixture with
air. Reaction, possibly violent, on contact with oxidizers.
Compounds of the carboxyl group react with all bases, both
inorganic and organic (i.e., amines) releasing substantial
heat, water and a salt that may be harmful. Incompatible
with arsenic compounds (releases hydrogen cyanide gas),
diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides (releasing heat, toxic and possibly flammable gases), thiosulfates and dithionites (releasing
hydrogen sulfate and oxides of sulfur) | | Waste Disposal | Dissolve or mix the material
with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal,
state, and local environmental regulations must be
observed. |
