Ethyl 4-acetylbutyrate, min. 95 %, 10 g

Ethyl 4-acetylbutyrate is a keto ester supplied at min. 95 % purity, identified by CAS number 13984-57-1 and empirical formula C₈H₁₄O₃. It has a molar mass of 158,2 g/mol, a density of 0,981 g/cm³, a flash point of 69,4 °C, and a boiling point of 222,1 °C. is intended for synthetic organic and biochemical applications that require a bifunctional C₈ building block combining ester and ketone reactivity. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, this reagent is useful in condensation chemistry, heterocycle formation, and multi-step sequences where controlled carbonyl and ester functionality are needed. Documented physical constants support solvent selection, distillation planning, and safety assessment in the laboratory. The defined purity grade and convenient quantity suit discovery chemistry, intermediate preparation, and scale-up scouting. Apply standard precautions for combustible organic liquids and store and handle under good laboratory practice.
