4-Methoxybenzyl acetate

Description:
4-Methoxybenzyl acetate, with the CAS number 104-21-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and ester functional group. It is derived from the reaction of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol and acetic acid, resulting in a compound that features a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to a benzene ring, along with an acetate group (-COOCH3). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral aroma, making it useful in the fragrance and flavoring industries. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and has low solubility in water. 4-Methoxybenzyl acetate is known for its stability under normal conditions, although it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties. Its applications extend beyond perfumery to include use in cosmetics and food flavoring, where it contributes to the overall sensory profile. As with many organic compounds, proper safety measures should be observed when handling this substance to mitigate any health risks.
