:Benzyl pentanoate
Description:
Benzyl pentanoate, with the CAS number 10361-39-4, is an ester formed from the reaction of benzyl alcohol and pentanoic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant, fruity aroma, making it useful in the fragrance and flavoring industries. The compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its low volatility and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. Benzyl pentanoate has a relatively low boiling point compared to many other esters, which contributes to its use in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it exhibits properties typical of esters, such as being non-toxic and having a low reactivity profile under standard conditions. Its applications extend to the cosmetic industry, where it may be used in formulations for perfumes and personal care products. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions are recommended to mitigate any potential risks associated with exposure.
