At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, ethyl benzoate presents as a colorless liquid with an aromatic profile reminiscent of wintergreen oil and ylang-ylang oil. It is widely employed as a flavor and fragrance ingredient in food and cosmetic formulations. This compound undergoes a range of chemical reactions, such as hydrolysis, which breaks it down into benzoic acid and ethanol, typically under acidic catalysis like sulfuric acid. It can also engage in esterification reactions with other alcohols under acid catalysis to form alternative ester products. Furthermore, reduction reactions convert ethyl benzoate into benzyl alcohol and ethanol.
