Butyl formate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Butyl formate has a fruity, plum-like odor and corresponding taste.

Occurrence

Reported found in fresh apple, strawberry fruit, cloudberry, sherry and Parmesan cheese.

Uses

Solvent for nitrocellulose, some types of cel- lulose acetate, many cellulose ethers, many natural and synthetic resins, lacquers, perfumes, organic synthesis (intermediate), flavoring. Occasionally used as a topnote material in green-floral perfume bases. Used in flavor compositions for imitation Fruit (Tutti-frutti ), Rum, Plum, Liquor and other flavors.

Preparation

By azeotropic distillation of formic acid and n-butyl alcohol with isopropyl formate; by boiling n-butyl alcohol and formamide in the presence on ZnCl, ZnSo4 or HgCl2.

General Description

A clear colorless liquid. Flash point 64°F. Less dense than water. Vapors heavier than air.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Butyl formate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Can generate electrostatic charges [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 247].

Hazard

Narcotic and irritating in high concentra- tion. Flammable, dangerous fire risk.

Health Hazard

Exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat. High concentrations have a narcotic effect.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mildly toxic by inhalation. Human systemic effects by inhalation: muscle contractions and spasticity, conjunctiva irritation, and unspecified respiratory changes. An irritant and narcotic in high concentrations. See also ESTERS, nBUTYL ALCOHOL, and FORMIC ACID. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, foam, CO2, dry chemical. Incompatible with oxidizing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid and irritating fumes.

Purification Methods

Wash the formate with saturated NaHCO3 solution in the presence of saturated NaCl, until no further reaction occurs, then with saturated NaCl solution, dry (MgSO4), filter and fractionally distil the filtrate. [Beilstein 2 IV 28.]
