Butanoic Acid Extra Pure, also known as butyric acid, is a high-purity carboxylic acid used in laboratory research for organic synthesis, esterification studies, and biochemical analysis. It serves as a building block in the preparation of esters, polymers, and pharmaceuticals, and is also studied for its role in metabolic and microbial pathways. With its strong, characteristic odor and reactive carboxyl group, it is valuable in reaction mechanism investigations and as a standard in acid-base titrations. The extra pure grade ensures low levels of moisture and contaminants, offering consistent performance in sensitive experiments. It should be handled in well-ventilated areas and stored in tightly sealed containers, away from heat and oxidizing agents.

Description

Butanoic Acid Extra Pure

Primary Uses 

  1. Organic Chemistry Reagent
    • Acts as a carboxylic acid reference compound in synthesis and analysis.
    • Used in esterification reactions to produce butanoate esters (e.g., ethyl butanoate), helpful in studying reaction mechanisms and yields.
  2. pH and Acidity Studies
    • Employed in acid-base titrations and buffer system experiments to demonstrate weak acid behavior and calculate dissociation constants (Ka).
  3. Biochemistry & Metabolism Research
    • Studied as a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) in microbial fermentation, gut microbiome, or metabolic pathway simulations.
  4. Spectroscopic Characterization Practice
    • Used in IR, NMR, and GC-MS labs to teach or validate spectral interpretation of carboxylic acid functional groups.

Secondary Uses

  1. Odor Demonstration in Sensory Science
    • Sometimes used (with caution) to demonstrate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to its strong rancid odor—a sensory example of SCFAs.
  2. Preparation of Calibration Standards
    • Used to create known concentration solutions for HPLC or GC method development, especially in fatty acid quantification.
  3. Fermentation & Microbiology Studies
    • Acts as a by-product in microbial cultures—can be added or measured in fermentation simulations or SCFA profiling experiments.
