Methyl benzoate CAS#93-58-3
Methyl benzoate is an organic compound. It is an ester with the chemical formula C6H5CO2CH3. It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents. Methyl benzoate has a pleasant smell, strongly reminiscent of the fruit of the feijoa tree, and it is used in perfumery. It also finds use as a solvent and as a pesticide used to attract insects such as orchid bees.

Product Application of Methyl benzoate CAS#93-58-3
Methyl benzoate is a volatile aromatic ester compound widely used in perfumery industries. It is naturally occurring in guava, mango, and kiwifruit. It is one of many compounds that is attractive to males of various species of orchid bees, who apparently gather the chemical to synthesize pheromones. It can also be utilized as a precursor for:
Selective synthesis of benzaldehyde using supported manganese oxide catalysts.
Preparation of benzophenone derivatives by reacting with aryl compounds via Friedel-Crafts acylation.
