Methyl benzoate is an organic compound. It is an ester with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 COOCH 3 , sometimes abbreviated as PhCO 2 Me , where Ph and Me are phenyl and methyl , respectively. Its structure is C 6 H 5 −C(=O)−O−CH 3 .
Benzoate plasticizers, such as the glycol-, diethyleneglycol-, and triethyleneglycol esters, are obtained by transesterification of methyl benzoate with the corresponding diol. [22] These plasticizers, which are used similarly to those derived from terephthalic acid ester, represent alternatives to phthalates .
By doing so, many substances that are liquid or have a low melting point are converted to easily crystallized derivates with sharp melting points. For instance, alcohols can be identified by the melting point of their esters with 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid. This method is also applicable to a large number of amines.
Melting point: −51.6 °C (−60.9 °F; 221.6 K) ... Propyl benzoate can be synthesized by the transesterification of methyl benzoate with propanol. [3]
Methyl 4-iodobenzoate, or methyl p-iodobenzoate, is an organic compound with the formula IC 6 H 4 COOCH 3. [3] It is the methyl ester of 4-iodobenzoic acid , or may also be viewed as an iodinated derivative of methyl benzoate .
3-Nitrobenzoic acid is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (NO 2)CO 2 H. It is an aromatic compound and under standard conditions, it is an off-white solid. The two substituents are in a meta position with respect to each other, giving the alternative name of m-nitrobenzoic acid.
It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with melting point 24 °C and boiling point 256 °C. It has a density of 1.168 g/cm 3 at 20 °C. [1] It has a refractive index of 1.583 at 589 nm of wavelength and 20 °C. [2] It shows a light blue-violet fluorescence. It is very slightly soluble in water, and soluble in ethanol and propylene glycol.
Benzyl benzoate is produced industrially by the reaction of sodium benzoate with benzyl chloride in the presence of a base, or by transesterification of methyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol. [8] It is a byproduct of benzoic acid synthesis by toluene oxidation. [ 11 ]
