Chemical compound
Propyl acetate , also known as propyl ethanoate , is an organic compound . Nearly 20,000 tons are produced annually for use as a solvent . This colorless liquid is known by its characteristic odor of pears. Due to this fact, it is commonly used in fragrances and as a flavor additive. It is formed by the esterification of acetic acid and propan-1-ol , often via Fischer–Speier esterification , with sulfuric acid as a catalyst and water produced as a byproduct.[ 6]
