BENZYL VALERATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Benzyl valerate is a colorless liquid. Insoiuble in water, poorly soluble in Propylene glycol and Glycerin, soluble in alcohol and oils. B.P. 250℃. Powerful fruity and somewhat musky, animal-like odor. The odor is less floral and more musky than that of the iso-valerate.

Uses

Benzyl valerate is occasionally used in perfumes. It can introduce quite interesting notes in Rose fragrances and in Oriental type fragrances, where the eflect can be directed towards the more warm-herbaceous, tobaccolike character. The n-valerate is sometimes preferred for Tobacco flavoring, while the iso-valerate is generally preferred for Apple flavor compositions.

Preparation

By direct esterification of Bennl alcohol with n-Valerie acid under azeotropic conditions.
