Description

CAS: 106-31-0 | C8H14O3 | 158.20 g/mol

Butyric anhydride is used in the preparation of amidoamine dendron-based co-adsorbents, which finds application in dye- sensitized solar cells improvement. It is also used in the synthesis of butyrate ester, which is used as a perfume and flavor. Further, it acts as a fumigant to drive bees from their hives. In addition to this, it is used in food additives, textile auxiliaries, varnishes, perfumes, pharmaceuticals and disinfectants.
