Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate

Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate (trade name IR3535) is an insect repellent. As ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate is solely a repellent, it has no killing action and does not give rise to selection pressure or development of resistance.[1] It is a colorless and almost odorless oil and is intended to be applied to the skin of humans and animals.[1][2] It has a broad efficacy against various insects like mosquitoes, ticks, lice, and other bugs.[1][2][3] Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate is safe for use on infants, pregnant and breastfeeding women. It is biodegradable and completely degraded in the environment within a very short time.[1]

Chemistry
Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate and beta-alanine

Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate is a derivative of beta-alanine.[4]

gollark: I made a cow electromagnet.
gollark: Explosions would cause... explosions, which I don't want, and my NCDE spell is somewhat glitchy still!
gollark: Exactly! Since I have no power limits because of using this creative device, I can basically throw them upward at 1000 somethings!
gollark: There are many ways I could implement this. How do you think I did it?
gollark: Cows are no longer present.
