n-Butoxyacetic acid, a urinary metabolite from inhaled n-butoxyethanol (Butylcellosolve).
Male albino rats were exposed to butylcellosolve (n-butoxyethanol). Collected urine was found to contain a characteristic metabolite, identified as n-butoxyacetic acid by mass spectrometry. The identity of the compound was confirmed by synthesis.
