flavors and fragrances | propyl butyrate, also known as n-propyl butyrate, it is mainly used for the preparation of edible flavor and daily chemical flavor. This product is colorless liquid at room temperature, like pineapple and almond aroma, sweet banana and pineapple fruit flavor, boiling point 142~143 ℃, density D4200.8722, refractive index nD201.3995, almost insoluble in water and ethanol, ether miscible. |
preparation method | prepared by boiling propanol and butyric acid in a benzene solution in the presence of p-methylbenzenesulfonic acid. In a 500ml round-bottom flask equipped with an oil-water separator and a thermometer, add 1mol of butyric acid and 1.2MOL of propanol and 5g of solid superacid catalyst, 100ml of dichloromethane, the mixture was heated to reflux and reacted until anhydrous components appeared in the oil-water separator, separated by layers, the aqueous layer was extracted twice with benzene, the organic layer was combined, washed with water, neutralized with 5% Na2CO3, and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, the benzene was distilled off first, and then the product of propyl butyrate was fractionated under reduced pressure. |
