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.

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.

Synthesis Reference(s)

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 109, p. 3330, 1987 DOI: 10.1021/ja00245a024

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.]

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 592-84-7 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,9 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 592-84:
(5*5)+(4*9)+(3*2)+(2*8)+(1*4)=87
87 % 10 = 7
So 592-84-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Alcohol-Activated Vanadium-Containing Polyoxometalate Complexes in Homogeneous Glucose Oxidation Identified with 51V-NMR and EPR Spectroscopy

Wesinger, Stefanie,Mendt, Matthias,Albert, Jakob

, p. 3662 - 3670 (2021/06/18)

Alcoholic solvents, especially methanol, show an activating affect for heteropolyacids in homogenously catalysed glucose transformation reactions. In detail, they manipulate the polyoxometalate-based catalyst in a way that thermodynamically favoured total oxidation to CO2 can be completely supressed. This allows a nearly 100 % carbon efficiency in the transformation reaction of glucose to methyl formate in methanolic solution at mild reaction conditions of 90 °C and 20 bar oxygen pressure. By using powerful spectroscopic tools like 51V-NMR and continuous wave EPR we could unambiguously prove that the vanadate-methanol-complex[VO(OMe)3]n is responsible for the selectivity shift in methanolic solution compared to the aqueous reference system.

Assessment of ion exchange resins as catalysts for the direct transformation of fructose into butyl levulinate

Ramírez, Eliana,Bringué, Roger,Fité, Carles,Iborra, Montserrat,Tejero, Javier,Cunill, Fidel

, (2021/01/25)

The transformation of fructose into butyl levulinate in aqueous 1-butanol (initial molar ratio 1-butanol/fructose 79, and butanol/water 1.19) has been studied in a discontinuous reactor at 80?120 °C and 2.0 MPa over 8 sulfonic polystyrene-DVB ion exchange resins as catalysts (catalyst loading 0.85–3.4 %). Resins swell greatly in the reaction medium and the reaction takes place mainly in the swollen gel-phase. Swollen resins in water have been characterized by analysis of ISEC data, and spaces originated in the gel phase upon swelling are described in terms of zones of different polymer density. A relationship has been found between the morphology of swollen resins and ester production. Swollen resins with low polymer density show the highest butyl levulinate yield. Dowex 50Wx2 was the most effective because it creates the largest and widest spaces in the gel-phase when swelling. Consequently, it better accommodates the proton-transfer-reaction mechanisms.

Sustainable Co-Synthesis of Glycolic Acid, Formamides and Formates from 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone by a Cu/Al2O3 Catalyst with a Single Active Sites

Dai, Xingchao,Adomeit, Sven,Rabeah, Jabor,Kreyenschulte, Carsten,Brückner, Angelika,Wang, Hongli,Shi, Feng

supporting information, p. 5251 - 5255 (2019/03/07)

Glycolic acid (GA), as important building block of biodegradable polymers, has been synthesized for the first time in excellent yields at room temperature by selective oxidation of 1,3-dihyroxyacetone (DHA) using a cheap supported Cu/Al2O3 catalyst with single active CuII species. By combining EPR spin-trapping and operando ATR-IR experiments, different mechanisms for the co-synthesis of GA, formates, and formamides have been derived, in which .OH radicals formed from H2O2 by a Fenton-like reaction play a key role.
