| | Butyl benzoate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | clear yellowish oily liquid. soluble in 95% ethanol and oil, with sweet and soft with astringent floral and paste fragrance, very light ambergris scent, woody and spicy underlying fragrance. The aroma is weak and lingers long. | | Uses | Butyl benzoate is used as a solvent for cellulose ether, a dye carrier for textiles, and a perfume ingredient . It occurs naturally as a volatile component of various fruits and vegetables. It has been approved by the FDA as an indirect food additive for use as a component of adhesives. | | Application | Butyl benzoate has been used as:
preservative in commercial cosmetic lotions
as involatile solvent, for sampling of isocyanates with silica gel solid phase extraction | | Definition | ChEBI: Butyl benzoate is a benzoate ester obtained by condensation of benzoic acid and butanol. It is used as a perfume ingredient and as a solvent for cellulose ether, a dye carrier for textiles. It has a role as an antimicrobial food preservative, a fragrance and a plant metabolite. | | Production Methods | Butyl benzoate is formed by the direct esterification of
n-butyl alcohol with benzoic acid under azeotropic conditions
