Nitrate esters, such as nitroglycerin, are known for their explosive properties, while polyesters are important plastics, with monomers linked by ester moieties. Esters of carboxylic acids usually have a sweet smell and are considered high-quality solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers. [2]
n-Butyl acetate is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 2 (CH 2) 3 CH 3.A colorless, flammable liquid, it is the ester derived from n-butanol and acetic acid.It is found in many types of fruit, where it imparts characteristic flavors and has a sweet smell of banana or apple.
Ethyl butyrate, also known as ethyl butanoate, or butyric ether, is an ester with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOCH 2 CH 3. It is soluble in propylene glycol, paraffin oil, and kerosene. It has a fruity odor, similar to pineapple, and is a key ingredient used as a flavor enhancer in processed orange juices. [1]

Odor: Fruity [1] Density: 0.87 g/cm 3 [1] Melting point: −67 °C (−89 °F; 206 K) [1] Boiling point: 168 °C (334 °F; 441 K) [1] Except where otherwise noted ...
Ethyl methylphenylglycidate contains ester and epoxide functional groups, despite its common name, lacks presence of an aldehyde.It is a colourless liquid that is insoluble in water.
Methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen or wintergreen oil) is an organic compound with the formula C 8 H 8 O 3.It is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a sweet, fruity odor reminiscent of root beer (in which it is used as a flavoring), [4] but often associatively called "minty", as it is an ingredient in mint candies. [5]
Methyl butyrate has been used in combustion studies as a surrogate fuel for the larger fatty acid methyl esters found in biodiesel. [6] However, studies have shown that, due to its short-chain length, methyl butyrate does not reproduce well the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behaviour and early CO 2 formation characteristics of real ...
