TCI B6748 Butyl 2-Hydroxyacetate, commonly known as butyl glycolate, is the butyl ester of glycolic acid bearing a free alpha-hydroxyl group. This bifunctional arrangement supports esterification, etherification, transesterification, and controlled oxidation, making it a flexible building block for glycolate derivatives and short-chain polyesters. The butyl chain improves solubility in less polar organic media, so the compound is also evaluated as an ester-type solvent in coating and ink formulation studies. AMI Scientific provides this TCI reagent in convenient bench-scale sizes, with quality information referenced to the manufacturer's certificate of analysis.
