CAS 112-32-3
:Octyl formate
Description:
Octyl formate, with the CAS number 112-32-3, is an ester formed from octanol and formic acid. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The substance is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, which is typical for many esters. Octyl formate has a relatively low boiling point and a low vapor pressure, indicating that it can evaporate easily at room temperature. It is generally considered to be non-toxic and is used in various industrial applications, including as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. Additionally, octyl formate can be used in the formulation of personal care products and as a potential biodegradable alternative to more harmful solvents. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed to minimize any risks associated with exposure.
