QUICK LINKS

Butyl oleate is derived from the esterification of oleic acid, which is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, with butanol. It is used as a lubricant, emollient, and solvent. N-butyl oleate is a fatty acid ester formed through the chemical reaction between the hydroxyl group of butan-1-ol and the carboxyl group of oleic acid. It serves as a human metabolite and is structurally connected to both butan-1-ol and oleic acid.
