|
Description |
Ethyl benzoate, C9H10O2,
is the ester formed by the condensation of benzoic acid and ethanol. It is a
colorless liquid that is almost insoluble in water, but miscible with most
organic solvents. |
|
Chemical Properties |
Ethyl benzoate has a somewhat fruity odor similar to ylang-ylang, but milder than methyl benzoate |
|
Chemical Properties |
colourless liquid with an aromatic odour |
|
Uses |
Ethyl Benzoate acts as an aroma and flavour compound due to the volatile ester group in its structure. |
|
Uses |
In perfumery under the name Essence de Niobe; in manufacture of Peau d'Espagne; artificial fruit essence. |
|
Preparation |
By esterification of ethyl alcohol and benzoic acid in the presence of anhydrous aluminum sulfate and a trace of sulfuric acid; by transesterification of methyl benzoate with ethanol in the presence of potassium ethylate |
|
Aroma threshold values |
Detection: 100 ppb; recognition: 150 ppb |
|
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: sweet, medicinal, green, minty, fruity, birch beer and wintergreen-like. |
|
Safety Profile |
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mildly toxic by skin contact. A skin and eye irritant. Combustible liquid when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS |
