Chemic chemical compound

Methyl benzoate is an organic compound. It is an ester with the chemic formula C_viH₅CO_twoCH₃. It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in h2o, 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 every bit a solvent and every bit a pesticide used to concenter insects such as orchid bees.

Synthesis and reactions [edit]

Methyl benzoate is formed by the condensation of methanol and benzoic acid, in presence of a strong acid.^[one] ^[2]

Methyl benzoate reacts at both the band and the ester, depending on the substrate. Electrophiles set on the ring, illustrated by acid-catalysed nitration with nitric acrid to give methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. Nucleophiles assault the carbonyl center, illustrated past hydrolysis with addition of aqueous NaOH to give methanol and sodium benzoate.

Occurrence [edit]

Methyl benzoate tin can be isolated from the freshwater fern Salvinia molesta.^[iii] It is one of many compounds that is attractive to males of diverse species of orchid bees, which obviously assemble the chemic to synthesize pheromones; it is commonly used every bit bait to attract and collect these bees for study.^[4]

Cocaine hydrochloride hydrolyzes in moist air to give methyl benzoate;^[5] drug-sniffing dogs are thus trained to discover the smell of methyl benzoate.^[half-dozen]

Uses [edit]

Non electric Estrus cost allocators. See: DIN EN 835.
