CAS 104-57-4: Benzyl formate

Description: Benzyl formate is an organic compound with the molecular formula C9H10O2, characterized by its ester functional group. It is formed from the reaction of benzyl alcohol and formic acid. This colorless to pale yellow liquid has a pleasant, fruity aroma, making it useful in the fragrance and flavoring industries. Benzyl formate is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. In terms of safety, it is considered to have low toxicity, but like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation. Benzyl formate is also used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds and as a solvent in certain applications. Its pleasant scent and chemical properties make it a valuable ingredient in perfumes and food flavorings.
