Ethyl 4-(phenylmethoxy)benzoate

Description:
Ethyl 4-(phenylmethoxy)benzoate, with the CAS number 56441-55-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by its ethyl ester functional group, which is derived from the reaction of benzoic acid and phenylmethanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. Ethyl 4-(phenylmethoxy)benzoate is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water, which is common for many esters. Its molecular structure features a benzoate moiety linked to a phenylmethoxy group, contributing to its potential applications in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as in organic synthesis. The compound may exhibit properties such as stability under normal conditions, but like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid exposure. Additionally, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases, leading to the release of the corresponding alcohol and acid.
