Dibutyl succinate is a compound that is used as a catalyst in the synthesis of butyl succinate and other organic compounds. It reacts with hydrogen fluoride to form hydrogen gas and dibutyl trifluoroacetate, which then reacts with caproic acid and sodium citrate to produce butyl succinate. Dibutyl succinate is a solid catalyst that does not have any toxic effects on humans, animals, or plants. It has been shown to be an excellent catalyst for synthesizing organic compounds because it can tolerate high temperature and has minimal toxicity.
