Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Ethyl Octanoate is present in nature in alcohols such as Rum, Whisky, Beer, Cognac
Isomerism :
Ethyl Octanoate is a constitutional isomer of Hydroxycitronellal and Florol®. However, its smell is quite different from the latter two compounds.
Synthesis precursor :
Ethyl Octanoate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Ethyl Octanoate can be synthesized by an esterification reaction between octanoic acid and Ethanol. This reaction involves an acid catalyst such as concentrated sulphuric acid, which speeds up the reaction.
Stability :
Esters may form their corresponding acid through time
