Methyl butyrate, also known under the systematic name methyl butanoate, is the methyl ester of butyric acid. Like most esters, it has a fruity odor, in this case resembling apples or pineapples. [2] At room temperature, it is a colorless liquid with low solubility in water, upon which it floats to form an oily layer.
Methyl butyrate, the methyl ester of butyric acid; 2-Methylbutyrate, the conjugate base of 2-methylbutyric acid (2-methylbutanoic acid) 3-Methylbutyrate, the conjugate base of 3-methylbutyric acid (3-methylbutanoic acid)
Subsequently, ATP is produced in the last step of the fermentation. Three molecules of ATP are produced for each glucose molecule, a relatively high yield. The balanced equation for this fermentation is C 6 H 12 O 6 → C 4 H 8 O 2 + 2CO 2 + 2H 2. Other pathways to butyrate include succinate reduction and crotonate disproportionation.

The red arrow is the succinate fermentation pathway; the blue arrow is the ethanol/acetyl-CoA fermentation pathway, also known as ABE fermentation. Butyryl-CoA is reduced from crotonyl-CoA catalyzing by butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, where two NADH molecules donate four electrons, with two of them reducing ferredoxin ([2Fe-2S] cluster) and the ...
The largest scale application of transesterification is in the synthesis of polyesters. [3] In this application, diesters undergo transesterification with diols to form macromolecules. For example, dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol react to form polyethylene terephthalate and methanol, which is evaporated to drive the reaction forward.
β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid [note 1] (HMB), otherwise known as its conjugate base, β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate, is a naturally produced substance in humans that is used as a dietary supplement and as an ingredient in certain medical foods that are intended to promote wound healing and provide nutritional support for people with muscle wasting due to cancer or HIV/AIDS.
