Detailed Description

Product name: Isobutyric acid

Isobutyric Acid (2-methylpropanoic acid, C₄H₈O₂) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, pungent odor resembling rancid butter or cheese. It is a short-chain branched carboxylic acid widely used in the flavor, fragrance, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. In flavor applications, Isobutyric Acid contributes to cheesy, buttery, and fruity notes, making it useful in dairy flavors, baked goods, and beverages. Industrially, it serves as an important intermediate in the production of esters, which are then applied in perfumes, coatings, plasticizers, and solvents. With high stability, solubility in ethanol and ether, and consistent quality, Isobutyric Acid is a versatile raw material for both laboratory and large-scale manufacturing needs.

Uses:

• Flavor Industry: Imparts buttery, cheesy, and fruity notes for dairy, baked goods, and beverage flavors.

• Fragrance Industry: Used in perfumes, detergents, and soaps as part of ester derivatives with fruity and floral tones.

• Pharmaceuticals: Acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

• Chemical Intermediate: Essential in the production of esters, solvents, plasticizers, and coating materials.

• Research Applications: Applied in organic synthesis, analytical chemistry, and formulation development.

Applications

Product name: Isobutyric acid

The use of isobutyric acid is similar to that of n-butyric acid. It is mainly used to produce the corresponding esters, such as methyl isobutyrate with apricot flavor, propyl isobutyrate with pineapple flavor, isoamyl isobutyrate with banana flavor, octyl isobutyrate with grape flavor, benzyl isobutyrate with jasmine flavor, etc. It can be used as a synthetic flavor and solvent. It is also used to make varnishes and plasticizers. Isobutyric acid has some important derivatives, which are actually used in industry to produce intermediates of isobutyronitrile, and then converted into isobutyramide hydrochloride, which is the raw material of the insecticide diazinon. Isobutyric acid is mainly used to synthesize isobutyric acid ester products, and is the raw material for producing esters used in perfumes and fragrances, such as methyl isobutyrate, propyl isobutyrate, isoamyl ester, benzyl ester, etc. It can be used as a food flavoring, which is a food flavoring allowed by GB2760-1996. It is mainly used to prepare flavors such as cream, apple, caramel, cheese, bread, yeast, etc. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, textile auxiliaries (in the form of salts), and solvents for various chemical reactions (solvents for lipids).
