Miscible with alcohols, ketones, oils, aromatic, aliphatic and halogenated hydrocarbons; insoluble in water. | | Chemical Properties | Benzyl formate has an intense, pleasant, floral-fruity odor and sweet taste reminiscent of apricot and pineapple. | | Occurrence | Reported found in the oil of Rosa rugosa, sour cherry, American cranberry, ligonberry, coffee, black tea,
Agaricus mushroom, Ocimum basilicum, Bourbon vanilla and crowberry (Empetrum nigrum Coll.). | | Uses | Solvent for cellulose esters; in perfumery. | | Preparation | By heating a mixture of formic/acetic anhydride and benzyl alcohol to 50°C; by passing a mixture of formic acid and
excess benzyl alcohol over a catalyst (ThO2 or TiO2) at high temperature. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: fresh cherry with a berry, strawberry fruity nuance. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of the American Chemical Society, 82, p. 2380, 1960 DOI: 10.1021/ja01494a065The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 55, p. 2952, 1990 DOI: 10.1021/jo00296a072 | | Hazard | May be narcotic in high concentration. | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion andskin contact.
