Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Ethyl acetate is used to add a top note to a fruity or citrus note. Allows to build green fruit accords such as pear or to reproduce liquor notes.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Ethyl acetate is the most common aromatic compound in fruits. It can be extracted from many fruits and is present up to 11% in the essential oil of red mangrove wood, found in the maritime marshes.
Isomerism :
Acetoin is a constitutional isomer of Ethyl acetate. However, they have very different smells. Acetoin is more buttered than fruity.
Synthesis precursor :
Ethyl acetate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Ethyl acetate can be obtained synthetically by an esterification reaction of acetic acid or acetic anhydride with ethanol, in the presence of an acid catalyst.
Stability :
acetates may form acetic acid through time
