What is ETHYL 4-PHENYLBUTYRATE?

Chemical properties

Ethyl 4-phenylbutyrate has a sweet, fruity, plum-like odor and cooked plum–prune taste.

The Uses of ETHYL 4-PHENYLBUTYRATE

Benzenebutanoic Acid Ethyl Ester is used in the synthesis of thiazolium salts with potent antimalarial activity. Also used in the preparation of novel lactate dehydrogenase A inhibitors. This compound is suitable for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) related research.

What are the applications of Application

Ethyl 4-phenylbutyrate is a compound also known as Ethyl 4-phenylbutanoate

Preparation

By esterification of ethanol with γ-phenylbutyric acid obtained by Grignard reaction from γ-bromopropylbenzene.

Definition

ChEBI: Ethyl 4-phenylbutanoate is a fatty acid ester.

What are the applications of Application

Ethyl-4-phenylbutanoate is probably used in flavors only. It imparts at a very low concentrations a certain amount of “natural” body and richness to many berries and other fruit flavours. The concentration used in such flavors is equivalent to about 0.06 to 1 ppm in the finished products.
