Benzeneethanol, 4-(acetyloxy)-, acetate

Description:

Benzeneethanol, 4-(acetyloxy)-, acetate, also known as 4-acetoxybenzyl acetate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and functional groups. It features a benzene ring substituted with an acetoxy group and an acetate moiety, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the acetoxy group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation processes. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored for potential applications in pharmaceuticals or as a fragrance component. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance. Overall, its unique structure and properties make it a compound of interest in both industrial and research settings.
