Chemical PropertiesHexyl benzoate has a woody-green, piney, balsamic odor
Chemical PropertiesHexyl Benzoate is a liquid with a balsamic, green, melon-like odor. It is used in perfumery.
OccurrenceReported found in lingonberry, peach, apricot, Parmesan cheese, butter, black tea, yellow passion fruit, sopadilla fruit (Achras sapota L.) and Roman chamomile oil.
UsesHexyl benzoate is used as a fragrance for soaps, perfumes, and creams.
PreparationBy esterification of n-hexanol with benzoic acid under azeotropic conditions
General DescriptionClear colorless liquid.
Air & Water ReactionsInsoluble in water.
Reactivity ProfileHexyl 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.
Fire HazardHexyl benzoate is probably combustible.
Flammability and ExplosibilityNonflammable
