Benzeneethanol, α-methyl-, 1-acetate

Description:
Benzeneethanol, α-methyl-, 1-acetate, also known as α-methylbenzyl acetate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from the reaction of α-methylbenzyl alcohol and acetic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity aroma, making it useful in the fragrance and flavoring industries. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring attached to an ethyl group and an acetate moiety, contributing to its chemical properties. The compound is generally soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. It exhibits moderate volatility and can be flammable, necessitating careful handling. In terms of reactivity, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or strong acids, leading to the formation of the corresponding alcohol and acetic acid. Safety data sheets should be consulted for information on toxicity and safe handling practices, as with any chemical substance.
