Benzyl acetate(CAT: R020389) is a naturally occurring ester formed from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid, known for its pleasant, sweet, and floral aroma reminiscent of jasmine. Widely used in the fragrance and flavor industries, it serves as a key ingredient in perfumes, soaps, detergents, and flavoring agents. In addition to its olfactory applications, benzyl acetate is utilized as a solvent in plastics, resins, and cellulose-based formulations due to its moderate polarity and volatility. It is also studied in natural product synthesis and organic transformations as a model ester. Its low toxicity and biodegradability make it suitable for consumer and industrial formulations.
