Methyl benzoate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production |
Chemical Properties
colourless to light yellow fragrant liquid |
|
General Description
A crystalline solid or a solid dissolved in a liquid. Denser than water. Contact may slightly irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be slightly toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals. |
|
Air & Water Reactions
Slightly soluble in water. Hydrolyzes slowly in contact with water . |
|
Reactivity Profile
Methyl benzoate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Methyl benzoate reacts with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases and hydrolyzes slowly in contact with water. . |
|
Health Hazard
Irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, upper respiratory tract, and skin. May cause allegic skin and respiratory reactions. |
|
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: None |
