Metabolite Identification
Common NamePropyl butyrate
DescriptionPropyl butyrate, also known as propyl butanoate, is a butyrate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of propanol with the carboxy group of butyric acid. It has a role as a human metabolite, a plant metabolite and an insect attractant. It derives from a propan-1-ol. Propyl butyrate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Propyl butyrate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral.
