| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Hazard]
May be narcotic in high concentration. | [Chemical Properties]
Benzyl formate has an intense, pleasant, floral-fruity odor and sweet taste reminiscent of apricot and pineapple. | [Chemical Properties]
Colorless liquid; fruity-spicy odor. Resembles benzyl acetate in many respects but differs in its greater volatility. Miscible with alcohols, ketones, oils, aromatic, aliphatic and halogenated hydrocarbons; insoluble in water. | [Occurrence]
Reported found in the oil of Rosa rugosa, sour cherry, American cranberry, ligonberry, coffee, black tea,
Agaricus mushroom, Ocimum basilicum, Bourbon vanilla and crowberry (Empetrum nigrum Coll.). | [Uses]
Solvent for cellulose esters; in perfumery. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Benzylformate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol. | [Preparation]
By heating a mixture of formic/acetic anhydride and benzyl alcohol to 50°C; by passing a mixture of formic acid and
excess benzyl alcohol over a catalyst (ThO2 or TiO2) at high temperature. | [Taste threshold values]
Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: fresh cherry with a berry, strawberry fruity nuance. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
