N Butyl Acetate
n-Butyl acetate is an organic compound with the formula CH3CO2(CH2)3CH3. A colorless, flammable liquid, it is the ester derived from n-butanol and acetic acid. It is found in many types of fruit, where it imparts characteristic flavors and has a sweet smell of banana or apple. It is used as an industrial solvent.[7]
The other three isomers (four, including stereoisomers) of butyl acetate are isobutyl acetate, tert-butyl acetate, and sec-butyl acetate (two enantiomers)
Application
It is commonly used as a flavoring additive. It is also used as solvent for wood lacquers and industrial finishes.Also used as solvent for wood lacquers and industrial finishes.
