General description

2-Butoxyethyl acetate is one of the components of Jiashi melon juice and was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O) analysis. It stimulated the release of prostaglandin E(2), an arachidonic acid metabolite, in human epidermal keratinocytes.

Application

  • Three-Dimensional Printing of Scaffolds: 2-Butoxyethyl acetate was utilized in the synthesis of poly(glycerol sebacate) acrylate for 3D printing applications, highlighting its role as a solvent in developing biocompatible materials for medical implants and tissue engineering (Wu et al., 2020).
  • Migration Analysis in Food Contact Materials: Demonstrates the application of 2-Butoxyethyl acetate in the extraction and analysis of migrating compounds from plastic baby bottles, using GC-MS to ensure consumer safety and compliance with food safety regulations (Onghena et al., 2014).
