Isobutyric Acid(CAS 79-31-2) Applications

▶ Chemical raw materials: Isobutyric acid can be used as a raw material for the preparation of other chemical substances, such as in the synthesis of dyes, drugs, spices, and plastics. Mainly used for synthesizing isobutyrate esters, such as methyl isobutyrate, propyl ester, isoamyl ester, benzyl ester, etc. Produce corresponding esters, such as apricot flavored isobutyrate methyl ester, pineapple flavored isobutyrate propyl ester, banana flavored isobutyrate isoamyl ester, grape flavored isobutyrate octyl ester, jasmine flavored isobutyrate benzyl ester, yeast, etc.

▶ Solvent: Isobutyric acid can be used as a solvent in various chemical reactions and industrial production, such as in the manufacturing of resins, coatings, inks, rubber, and plastics.

▶ Pharmaceutical industry: Isobutyric acid can be used in the manufacturing of drugs, such as cephalosporins and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Isobutyric acid is a raw material for producing pharmaceutical intermediates such as isobutyl chloride.

▶ Food additive: Isobutyric acid can be used as a food additive to enhance the acidity and taste of food, such as in the production of chewing gum, candy, and beverages. It can be used as a food spice and is a raw material for spices and spices such as isobutyric acid.

▶ Preservatives: Isobutyric acid can be used as a preservative to extend the lifespan of various products, such as protecting wood, leather, and cellulose.

▶ Isobutyric acid has some important derivatives. In industry, isobutyric acid is actually used as an intermediate in the production of isobutyronitrile, which is then converted into isobutylamine hydrochloride, a raw material for the pesticide diazinon.

▶ Isobutyric acid is also used in the manufacturing of varnishes, plasticizers, photoinitiators, preservatives, leather deliminators, and disinfectants.

Isobutyric Acid(CAS 79-31-2) Properties

Isobutyric acid appears as a colorless liquid with a light odor of rancid butter. Corrosive to metals and tissue.

Isobutyric acid, also known as isobutyrate or iso-C3H7COOH, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Isobutyric acid exists as a solid, soluble (in water), and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Isobutyric acid has been detected in most biofluids, including saliva, urine, blood, and feces. Isobutyric acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Isobutyric acid is also a parent compound for other transformation products, including but not limited to, 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid, clofibric acid, and 3-aminoisobutyric acid. Isobutyric acid is a butter, cheese, and rancid-tasting compound that can be found in several food items such as red bell pepper, apricot, orange bell pepper, and sweet bay. This makes isobutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Isobutyric acid has been linked to inborn metabolic disorders including celiac disease.
