propyl formate

Description:
Propyl formate, with the CAS number 110-74-7, is an ester formed from propanol and formic acid. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, often associated with the scent of pears or apples. Propyl formate is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the production of perfumes. Its chemical formula is C4H8O2, and it has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. The substance is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. In terms of reactivity, propyl formate can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of propanol and formic acid. Overall, propyl formate is valued in the chemical industry for its pleasant aroma and utility in synthesis and formulation processes.
