CAS 52182-15-7: Ethyl benzilate

Description: Ethyl benzilate, with the CAS number 52182-15-7, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of ethyl alcohol and benzilic acid. Ethyl benzilate typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it of interest in the fragrance industry. The compound is characterized by its relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Ethyl benzilate is known for its stability under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. It is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources is recommended to maintain its integrity.
