What is Butyl hydroxyacetate?
Chemical properties
Colorless Transparent Liquid. n-Butyl glycolate is a colorless liquid, which is miscible with most organic solvents. The solubility in water is limited to 8 wt % (20 C), although the compound itself may contain up to 25 wt % water.
The Uses of Butyl hydroxyacetate
Butyl glycolate may be used in the preparation of N-(α-hydroxyacetyl)-(S)-isoleucine.
Production Methods
n-Butyl glycolate is produced by treatment of sodium chloroacetate with nbutyl alcohol at 125 – 160℃, followed by vacuum distillation.
General Description
Butyl glycolate is a glycolic acid derivative.
Purification Methods
Dissolve in CHCl3 (EtOH-free), wash with 5% KHCO3 until effervescence ceases (if free acid is present), dry over CaCl2, filter, evaporate and distil through a short column. [B.hme & Opfer Z Anal Chem 139 255 1953, Filachione et al. J Am Chem Soc 73 5265 1951, Beilstein 3 IV 589.]
