Maleic acid dibutyl ester is a chemical compound in the group of carboxylic acid esters.
Maleic acid dibutyl ester can be prepared by the reaction of maleic acid anhydride and 1-butanol in presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid.[3][4]
Maleic acid dibutyl ester is a flammable, hard to ignite, oily, colorless to yellowish liquid with a characteristic odor, which has very low solubility in water.
Maleic acid dibutyl ester is mainly used as a plasticizer for aqueous dispersions of copolymers with vinyl acetate and as an intermediate in the preparation of other chemical compounds.[5]
