Geranyl acetate(CAS#105-87-3/141-12-8) introduction
Geryl acetate, also known as maltyl acetate, is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, manufacturing methods and safety information: Quality: – Appearance: Geranyl acetate is a colorless and transparent liquid. – Smell: Has an apple-like aromatic taste. – Soluble: Soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene and acetic acid.
Use: – Chemical research: Geryl acetate is also commonly used in organic synthesis reactions as a solvent and intermediate. Method: Geryl acetate is generally prepared by the esterification reaction of apple alcohol and acetic acid under acidic conditions. The specific preparation method includes the following steps: Mix apple alcohol and acetic acid in a molar ratio. Under acidic conditions, an esterification catalyst (e.g., sulfuric acid) is added. At the appropriate temperature, the reaction is carried out, and it is usually necessary to distill the reaction solution in water to promote the reaction in the direction of esterification. After the end of the reaction, the geranide acetate product with high purity was obtained through distillation and purification steps. Safety Information: Geranyl acetate is generally considered relatively safe for routine use. The following are still important to note: – Geranyl acetate is a flammable liquid, avoid contact with ignition. – Avoid inhalation, contact with skin or eyes. When in use, appropriate protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn. – When storing and handling geranide acetate, comply with relevant regulatory requirements to ensure safe storage and management.
