Butyl nitrate, with the CAS number 928-45-0, is an organic nitrate ester characterized by its chemical formula C4H9NO3. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, which is typical of many nitrate esters. Butyl nitrate is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used as a solvent and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. The substance is also recognized for its potential as a fuel additive due to its ability to enhance the octane rating of gasoline. However, it is important to handle butyl nitrate with care, as it can be flammable and poses health risks upon exposure, including irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this compound.

N-Butyl nitrate

n-Butylnitrate is a chemical that belongs to the class of nitrates. It has been used in the production of biodiesel and as an anti-inflammatory drug. The mechanism of action for n-butylnitrate is not fully understood, but it may be due to its ability to lower blood pressure in hypertensive rats. This effect may be due to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids, which are inflammatory agents.
