Vitamin B2 Riboflavin Tetrabutyrate is a lipophilic tetrabutyric acid ester of riboflavin with formula C33H44N4O10, molecular weight 656.72 g/mol, and CAS 752-56-7. It presents as a yellow crystalline solid, density 1.250 g/cm³, melting point 145–147 °C, with markedly improved oil solubility relative to standard riboflavin.
Also known under the trade name Hibon, this fat-soluble B2 derivative is used where conventional riboflavin cannot be incorporated into lipid-based matrices. It provides a stable, non-discoloring source of Vitamin B2 activity across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, feed, and cosmetic applications.
