Description and Uses

Ethyl benzoate, C9H10O2, is the ester formed by the condensation of benzoic acid and ethanol. It is a colorless liquid that is almost insoluble in water, but miscible with most organic solvents.
As with many volatile esters, ethyl benzoate has a pleasant odor which could be described similar to wintergreen mint. It is a component of some artificial fruit flavors.

Ethyl benzoate is used as a perfume scent. It acts as a food flavoring agent. It is an active component of artificial fruit flavors. Further, it is used in cosmetics and personal care products as fragrance ingredients and preservatives.
