Ethyl myristate - Introduction

Tetradecanoic acid ethyl ester is also known as myristic acid ethyl ester. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of ethyl tetradecate:

Nature:

- Appearance: Colorless liquid

- Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether

Purpose:

Ethyl tetradecate is commonly used in the flavor and fragrance industry as a flavor enhancer and flavoring agent to provide neroli, cinnamon, vanilla and other fragrances.

Preparation:

Ethyl -tetradecanoate can be produced by the reaction of tetradecanoic acid with ethanol. The reaction is usually carried out under acidic conditions, usually using an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or sulfoxide chloride.

- The specific preparation method can be used to mix tetradecanoic acid and ethanol according to a certain molar ratio, and carry out the acid esterification reaction under the control of temperature and time, and finally produce ethyl tetradecanoate.

Safety information:

Ethyl -tetradecate is not irritating to human skin and eyes at room temperature.

- However, direct contact with and inhalation of its steam should be avoided, and in order to avoid inhalation, the operation should be carried out in a well-ventilated place.

- In case of contact, rinse with plenty of water immediately. If you feel uncomfortable, seek medical attention immediately.
