Propyl propanoate (also known as propyl propionate and n-propyl propionate) is the organic compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 12 O 2. It is the ester of propanol and propionic acid. Like most esters, propyl propanoate is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor. The scent of propyl propionate is described as a chemically tinged pineapple or ...

An ester of carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (organic or inorganic) and R′ stands for organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (−R).

As a food additive, it is approved for use in the EU, [23] US, [24] Australia and New Zealand. [25] Propionic acid is also useful as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, especially polymers. Cellulose-acetate-propionate is a useful thermoplastic. Vinyl propionate is also used.
Due to its potential use as a precursor in the synthesis of fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, propanoic anhydride is regulated by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration as a List I chemical under the Controlled Substances Act.
1-Propanol (also propan-1-ol, propanol, n-propyl alcohol) is a primary alcohol with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH and sometimes represented as PrOH or n-PrOH.It is a colourless liquid and an isomer of 2-propanol. 1-Propanol is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly for resins and cellulose esters, and, sometimes, as a disinfecting agent.
It is also used in the production of some antimalarial drugs including pyrimethamine. [6] Ethyl propionate can be synthesized by the Fischer esterification of ethanol and propionic acid: CH 3 CH 2 OH + CH 3 CH 2 CO 2 H → CH 3 CH 2 O 2 CCH 2 CH 3 + H 2 O. It participates in condensation reactions by virtue of the weakly acidic methylene group. [7]
