Introduction
Phenylethyl butyrate. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of phenylethyl butyrate:
Quality:
1. Appearance: Phenylethyl butyrate is a colorless to light yellow liquid with an aromatic odor.
2. Solubility: phenylethyl butyrate is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and alcohol, and insoluble in water.
3. Stability: Phenylethyl butyrate is stable at room temperature and pressure.
Use:
Industrial uses: Phenylethyl butyrate can be used as a solvent in the manufacture of paints, coatings, glues and fragrances.
Method:
The preparation of phenylethyl butyrate is usually achieved by esterification. Butyric acid reacts with phenylacetic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst (such as concentrated sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid) or a transesterifier (such as methanol or ethanol) to form phenylethyl butyrate.
Safety Information:
