Butyramide was used in the synthesis of hydroxamic acids, electrorheological fluids and β-amodoorganotin compounds. It was used as substrate of (+)-γ-lactamase to develop a microreactor to study enzyme stability, activity, kinetics and substrate specificity.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
