Dibutyl sebacate Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties clear liquid
Chemical Properties Dibutyl sebacate is a clear, colorless, oily liquid with a bland to slight butyl odor.
Uses Dibutyl sebacate (DBS) is a dibutyl ester of sebacic acid. Dibutyl sebacate can be used for plastics in use in the food packaging industry, in plastics used for medical devices, and for pharmaceutical applications. Dibutyl sebacate is also used as a desensitizer in Otto fuel II, a torpedo monopropellant.
Production Methods Dibutyl sebacate is manufactured by the esterification of n-butanol and sebacic acid in the presence of a suitable catalyst, and by the distillation of sebacic acid with n-butanol in the presence of concentrated acid.
Preparation By distillation of sebacic acid with butyl alcohol in the presence of concentrated HCl in benzene solution or by reacting butyl alcohol and sebacyl chloride
Pharmaceutical Applications Dibutyl sebacate is used in oral pharmaceutical formulations as a plasticizer for film coatings on tablets, beads, and granules, at concentrations of 10–30% by weight of polymer. It is also used as a plasticizer in controlled-release tablets and microcapsule preparations.
Dibutyl sebacate is also used as a synthetic flavor and flavor adjuvant in food products;for example,up to 5ppm is used in ice cream and nonalcoholic beverages.
Safety Profile Mddly toxic by ingestion. Experimental reproductive effects. Combustible liquid when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidzing materials. To fight fire, use CO2 position it emits acrid smoke and fumes. See also ESTERS and n-BUTYL. ALCOHOL.
