    General description

    Butyl acetate (BA, n-butyl acetate) is an ester commonly used as an organic solvent in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries and as a flavoring agent in food industry.[2][3] One of the methods reported for its synthesis is the esterification reaction between acetic acid and butanol catalyzed by expandable graphite (EG).[2] The decomposition of butyl acetate by photocatalysis in gas phase has been studied using TiO2, Pt/TiO2 and WO3/TiO2 catalysts.[4] BA is a probable biofuel additive.[1]

    Butyl acetate is a butyl ester of acetic acid. It exists in four isomeric forms: butyl acetate, sec-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate and tert-butyl acetate. It is a colorless pleasant smelling liquid.[6]

    Application

    Butyl acetate has been used for the preparation of testicular tissue and cell cultures for immunohistochemical (IHC) and immunofluorescent (IF) staining.[7]

    Butyl acetate may be used to abstract aluminium-hydroxyquinolate complex from soil extracts for determining aluminium spectrophotometrically and by fluorimetry.[5] It can also be used to abstract traces of gold from ores which is then determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.[8]
