| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Calcium Butyrate was used in the biological study in small intestine of pigs where Butyrate improved digestive and absorptive capacities. | [Synthesis]
Room temperature stirring, butyric acid 88.11g (1.0mol, 1.0eq) in 5 batches dissolved in 200mL of aqueous solution containing 45.0g sodium hydroxide, and then to the reaction solution slowly added 200mL of aqueous solution containing calcium chloride 108. | [Purification Methods]
Recrystallise it from water (5mL/g) by partial evaporation in a desiccator and dry it in a vacuum to constant weight. [Pathak & Bhide J Indian Chem Soc 30 47, 48 1953.] Its dissociation constant at 25o is 0.29 [Colman-Porter & Monk J Chem Soc 4363 1952, Beilstein 2 IV 785]. |
