Isobutyl p-Aminobenzoate

The ester of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with isobutyl alcohol, already described in the 1920s: it is a topical local anaesthetic and has also been listed as a sunscreen. This family brings together the active ingredient.

Did you know?Compared with benzocaine only the tail of the ester changes, a branched isobutyl group instead of an ethyl; it forms crystals that melt at about 65 °C and dissolves well even in olive oil.
