Description:Phenylethyl propionate, with the CAS number 122-70-3, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of phenylethanol and propanoic acid. This substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral aroma, making it a popular choice in the fragrance and flavoring industries. Its molecular formula is C11H14O2, and it has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. Phenylethyl propionate is known for its solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. It is often used in perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings due to its pleasant scent and taste. Additionally, it may exhibit some antimicrobial properties, although its primary applications are in the sensory enhancement of products. As with many esters, it is important to handle phenylethyl propionate with care, as it can cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
