Executive Summary
3-Methoxybutyl acetate is an organic chemical compound that contains both an ester functional group, which is a pair of alkyl groups connecting by a carbonyl and a linking oxygen atom (RCOOR), and an ether functional group, which is an oxygen atom connected two alkyl groups (R-O-R). Shorter chain ethers and esters typically function as solvents, which are liquids capable of dissolving other substances. 3-Methoxybutyl acetate is water soluble and miscible with common organic solvents. These properties make 3-methoxybutyl acetate ideal for use as a solvent in a variety of applications and product sectors.
