1,2-Propanediol, 1-benzoate

Description:
1,2-Propanediol, 1-benzoate, also known as propylene glycol benzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group formed from the reaction of benzoic acid and 1,2-propanediol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, sweet odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water. The substance is primarily used as a plasticizer, solvent, and flavoring agent in various applications, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Its low volatility and stability under heat make it suitable for use in formulations requiring prolonged shelf life. Additionally, 1,2-Propanediol, 1-benzoate is recognized for its relatively low toxicity, which contributes to its safety profile in consumer products. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the release of the parent alcohol and acid. Proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its integrity and effectiveness in applications.
