Description:Allyl acetate, with the CAS number 591-87-7, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of allyl alcohol and acetic acid. This colorless liquid is known for its characteristic fruity odor, reminiscent of pears or apples, making it a popular choice in the flavor and fragrance industries. Allyl acetate has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, but it has limited solubility in water. Its chemical formula is C5H8O2, and it features a double bond in the allyl group, which contributes to its reactivity. Allyl acetate is used not only in the production of various flavors and fragrances but also in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and inhalation of its vapors may cause respiratory discomfort. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with allyl acetate in laboratory or industrial settings.
