Isobutyl acetate nitrate

ISOBUTYL ACETATE (110-19-0) Forms explosive mixture with air (flash point 63°F/17°C). Reacts with water slowly, forming acetic acid and isobutyl alcohol. Reacts violently with strong oxidizers. Incompatible with sulfuric acid, nitric acid, caustics, aliphatic amines, nitrates, isocyanates. Dissolves rubber, many plastics, resins, and some coatings. Flow or agitation of substance may generate electrostatic charges due to low conductivity. 

Isobutyl acetate [110-19-0] is a colorless, neutral liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is miscible with organic solvents, but immiscible with water. Isobutyl acetate has a high solvency for cellulose nitrate, colophony, damar resin, ketone and ketone-formaldehyde resins, maleate resins, urea and melamine resins, and phenolic and alkyd resins. Polymers such as polystyrene, poly(vinyl ethers), poly(vinyl acetate), polyacrylates, chlorinated rubber and vinyl chloride copolymers, as well as fats, greases, and oils are readily dissolved. Postchlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) is less soluble. Polyisobutene, cellulose ethers, polymethacrylates, poly(vinyl butyrals), natural rubber, and manila copal are swollen. Shellac, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetobutyrate, poly(vinyl chloride), and poly(vinyl formal) are insoluble. 

Isobutyl acetate has a higher volatility and lower flash point than butyl acetate, and is therefore used in the production of quick-drying cellulose nitrate lacquers. On account of its low water content it can be used as a solvent and diluent for polyurethane paints. Isobutyl acetate is used as a viscosity-reducing auxiliary solvent in low-solvent paints.

The mechanism of the OH-initiated oxidation of isopropyl isobutyl ether has been studied in the presence of NOj by Stemmier et al. (1997a). The major products observed, with their molar yields in parentheses, were acetone (56 4%), isopropyl formate (48 3%), isobutyl acetate (28 2%), and 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl acetate (25 10%). Smaller yields (< 10%) of isobutanal, isopropyl nitrate, 1,1,4-trimethyl-3-oxapentyl nitrate, isopropyl isobutyrate, and isobutyl formate were also observed. 

The acetates of most alcohols are also commercially available and have diverse uses. Because of their high solvent power, ethyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, amyl, and isoamyl acetates are used in ceUulose nitrate and other lacquer-type coatings (see Cellulose, esters). Butyl and hexyl acetates are exceUent solvents for polyurethane coating systems (see Coatings Urethane polymers). Ethyl, isobutyl, amyl, and isoamyl acetates are frequentiy used as components in flavoring (see Flavors and spices), and isopropyl, benzyl, octyl, geranyl, linalyl, and methyl acetates are important additives in perfumes (qv).

The solubility of nitro isobutyl glycerine trinitrate in water is less than that of nitroglycerine. Its solubility at 20 °C is 0.081 % and it is mutually soluble to diethyl ether, acetone, benzene, acetic ether, tetrachlormethane, dichlormethane, nitrobenzene, and nitrotoluene. Nitro isobutyl glycerine trinitrate can dissolve nitro aromatics. The property can be used to produce double-base propellants or multibase propellants. It is, to some extent, soluble to low nitrogenous cellulose nitrate (nitrogen content 11.8-12.2 %) for the production of double-base propellants.
