2-Methyl butyric acid Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

2-methyl butyric acid has a pungent, acrid odor which is similar to Roquefort cheese with an acrid taste. At low dilutions, it has a pleasant fruity taste. It can be prepared either by decarboxylation of methyl ethyl malonic acid or by the oxidation of fermentation amyl alcohol (fusel oil). It is used as a flavor ingredient for butter, cream, cheese flavor deployment. It also provides acyl moiety for the preparation of the respective flavor esters.

Uses

2-Methylbutyric acid, can be used as food additive for butter, cream, cheese flavor deployment. It is an important raw material and intermediate used in Organic Synthesis, Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals and Dyestuff. It is also used in the synthesis of 2-methylbutyric anhydride.

Uses

2-Methylbutyric acid was used in the synthesis of 2-methylbutyric anhydride, an acylating agent.

Definition

ChEBI: A methylbutyric acid comprising a butyric acid core carrying a 2-methyl substituent. Produced from amino acid leucine during nutrient starvation in bacteria.

Preparation

By decarboxylation of methyl ethyl malonic acid (with heat); also by oxidation of fermentation amyl alcohol (fusel oil).
