Thermo Scientific™ Butyric Acid (≥99%) is a high-purity, corrosive and toxic short-chain carboxylic acid commonly used as a building block in organic synthesis, chemical intermediates, and pharmaceutical research. With a sharp, penetrating odor and excellent reactivity, it plays a key role in esterification, flavor production, polymer synthesis, and as a biochemical standard or control in analytical procedures.
This product is supplied in chemically resistant glass bottles and conforms to industry standards for chemical purity. It is classified under ADR Class 8 (Corrosive), Packing Group III, and bears both GHS05 (Corrosive) and GHS06 (Toxic) hazard pictograms.
Key Features
- ≥99% purity for high-performance organic synthesis
- Supplied in glass bottles to ensure chemical integrity
- Toxic and corrosive—appropriate PPE required during handling
- Useful for the synthesis of esters, polymers, and pharmaceuticals
- Employed in organic reaction studies and building block libraries
- Complies with UN 2820 transport regulations
- Ambient storage conditions
Applications
- Intermediate in flavor and fragrance compound synthesis
- Esterification reactions in biochemical and organic research
- Raw material for pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Analytical chemistry as a standard or control
- Precursor for butyrate esters and biodegradable polymers
