Overview of Ethyl 4-Methylbenzoate
Ethyl 4-Methylbenzoate, also referred to as 4-methylbenzoic acid ethyl Ester or P-toluic acid ethyl Ester, is an organic ester compound that is a transparent or pale yellow liquid with an incredibly fruity, sweet, and floral smell. The pleasant scent resulted from the esterification process that takes place in 4-Methylbenzoate acid by using alcohol. The result is a stabilized functional group of ester, which is bonded to a substituent for aromatic. The structure of Ethyl 4-Methylbenzoate comprises an ethyl-benzene benzene ring that is substituted at the para-position using the methyl group and the carboxylic acid group, giving the distinctive blend of aromatic aroma as well as moderate hydrophobicity.
