Definition and Usage Areas of N-butyl acetate

N-butyl acetate, also known as butyl ethanoate, is an ester that is a colorless flammable liquid at room temperature. Butyl acetate, along with other chemicals, imparts characteristic flavors and is found in many fruit species, which have a sweet scent of banana or apple. It is used as a synthetic fruit additive in foods such as candy, ice cream, cheese, and fried products. Butyl acetate is often used as a high-boiling solvent of moderate polarity.

Butyl acetates are commonly produced by the Fischer esterification of butanol (or the butyl acetate isomer of its isomer) and acetic acid in the presence of catalytic sulfuric acid under reflux conditions by the following reaction

Apples, especially some of the Red Delicious variety, are flavored with this chemical. The Koschevnikov gland emitted by alarm pheromones of honey bees contains butyl acetate.
