Butyl nicotinate, with the CAS number 6938-06-3, is an ester derived from nicotinic acid and butanol. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a pyridine ring, contributing to its aromatic properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. Butyl nicotinate is known for its solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water, which is common for many esters. It exhibits properties that make it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, fragrance component, and in cosmetic formulations due to its skin-conditioning effects. Additionally, butyl nicotinate can act as a vasodilator, promoting blood flow, which has implications in topical applications. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause mild irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed to minimize exposure risks.

Butyl nicotinate is a nicotinic acid derivative that is structurally related to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is used as a stimulant and has been shown to have excitatory effects on the peripheral nervous system. Butyl nicotinate has been shown to increase blood flow in the human body by increasing the rate of transport of substances through the blood vessels, including erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. This drug may also serve as a precursor for methyl nicotinate, which can be used for the synthesis of explosives or flavorings.
