Products Description of Ethyl benzoate CAS#93-89-0
Ethyl benzoate exists as a colorless liquid at ambient temperature and pressure, characterized by an aroma similar to that of wintergreen oil and ylang-ylang oil. It is commonly employed as a food and flavor additive. Chemically, it is capable of engaging in multiple reaction types: acid-catalyzed hydrolysis (e.g., with sulfuric acid) to form benzoic acid and ethanol; acid-promoted esterification with alcohols yielding other esters; and reduction reactions that generate benzyl alcohol and ethanol.
