Ethyl benzoate CAS#93-89-0

Ethyl benzoate has a wintergreen-ylang aroma, making it a popular flavor additive. It is highly reactive, undergoing hydrolysis, esterification, and reduction. Stable under normal conditions, it is combustible and incompatible with strong oxidizers.

Product Description of Ethyl benzoate CAS#93-89-0

Ethyl benzoate is a colorless liquid at ambient temperature and pressure, with an aroma reminiscent of wintergreen oil and ylang-ylang oil, making it a popular food and flavor additive. This compound is versatile in chemical reactions, including hydrolysis, in which it breaks down into benzoic acid and ethanol. This hydrolysis typically occurs under acidic conditions, such as with sulfuric acid as a catalyst, to yield benzoic acid and ethanol. Additionally, ethyl benzoate can undergo esterification, reacting with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst to form various ester compounds. It can also undergo reduction, converting into benzyl alcohol and ethanol.

Product Application of Ethyl benzoate CAS#93-89-0

Ethyl benzoate (CAS 93-89-0) is widely used as a food flavoring agent and an active component of artificial fruit flavors, including strawberry and pineapple notes. It serves as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products, helping to stabilize scent profiles and slow fragrance volatilization. In industrial applications, it functions as a high-boiling solvent for coatings and inks, a pharmaceutical intermediate, and a precursor in organic synthesis for dyes, pesticides, and fine chemicals
