  • Applications

    2-Butenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-methylpropyl ester, (2E)- (commonly known as isobutyl tiglate) is a fragrance/flavor ester used primarily to impart fruity, winey and slightly green nuances that boost freshness and diffusion in apple, pear, pineapple, banana, berry and citrus accords for fine fragrances, personal care, air-care products and household cleaners; in foods, beverages, confectionery and baked goods it is dosed at very low levels as a flavor ingredient to round out fruit profiles and improve persistence, typically in synergy with other short-chain esters; beyond aroma applications, it serves as a versatile organic intermediate bearing the (E)-2‑methyl‑2‑butenoyl motif for preparing related esters, amides or alcohols via transesterification, amidation or reduction, supporting pharmaceutical/agrochemical discovery and analytical standards; in practice it is volatile and prone to hydrolysis/oxidation, so it should be stored tightly closed, cool, and protected from light and strong oxidizers.
