Benzyl butyrate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Sodium butyrate and benzyl chloride are heated and refluxed in water to react, and after the reaction is over, be cooled and separated and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain benzyl butyrate. C3H7COONa+C6H5CH2C1→C3H7COOCH2C6H5+NaCl is heated and esterified by benzyl alcohol and butyric acid under sulfuric acid catalysis to obtain the finished product. C3H7COOH+C6H5CH2OH[H2SO4] →C3H7COOCH2C6H5+H2O

Uses

Ester synthetic fragrance. It is mainly used as a blending spice of geranium, geranium, lily of the valley, rose, acacia, lily, jasmine, frangipani and other floral flavors and fruit flavors. It can also be used as a fragrance of soap.
