Ethyl butyrate is used in flavors and fragrances. It is used as a solvent in perfumery products, and as a plasticizer for cellulose. It is used in the preparation of novel 2-cyanopyrimidines as cathespin K inhibitors. It is also used in the synthesis of pyridobenzimidazole derivatives exhibiting antifungal activity by the inhibition of β-1,6-glucan.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
