Butyl acetates

Butyl acetates (also acetic acid butyl esters) are organic chemical compounds and comprise a group of four saturated carboxylic acid esters exhibiting structural isomerism. They are the esters formed from acetic acid and the four isomeric butanols. They share the molecular formula C6H12O2 and have a molar mass of 116.16 g/mol. sec-Butyl acetate is also chiral and exists as two enantiomeric forms. Wikipedia
