Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Benzyl phenylacetate has a sweet, floral (jasmine-rose) odor and a slight honey-like taste.

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid; honeylike odor.Soluble in alcohol. Combustible.

Occurrence

Not reported found in nature; phenylacetic acid, on the other hand, has been reported in several essential oils.

Uses

Perfumery and flavors.

Preparation

By direct esterification of benzyl alcohol with phenylacetic acid.

Definition

ChEBI: Phenylmethyl benzeneacetate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol.

General Description

Clear colorless liquid with a honey-like odor.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

BENZYL PHENYLACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. BENZYL PHENYLACETATE is sensitive to excessive light and heat.

Fire Hazard

BENZYL PHENYLACETATE is probably combustible.
