Ethyl benzoate Use and Manufacturing
Add 24.4g (0.2mol) benzoic acid, 50mL benzene, 18.4g (0.4mol) ethanol and 0.8g sulfuric acid to a 250mL three-necked flask with a water separator, and slowly heat to reflux until no water comes out of the water separator. The reactants were firstly distilled under normal pressure to recover benzene and remaining ethanol, and then distilled under reduced pressure to collect 101-103°C (2.66kPa) fractions, that is, about 28g of product was obtained. C6H5COOH+CH3CH2OH[H2SO4]→C6H5COOCH2CH3+H2O
It is often used in heavier floral fragrances, especially in the ylang-ylang type, and other fragrances such as carnation and tuberose. It is also suitable for the preparation of non-floral essences such as new mowing grass and fragrant wei. It can be used together with Cistus citrus products in leather fragrance.
