The smell of ethyl acetate is an example of fruity odour.
A typical artificial strawberry flavor, like the kind found a milk shake, contains the following ingredients:amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, amyl valerate,anethol,anisyl formate,benzyl acetate, benzyl isobutyrate, butyric acid,cinnamyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl valerate,cognac essential oil,diacetyl,dipropyl ketone,ethyl acetate, ethyl amyl ketone, ethyl butyrate, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl heptanoate, ethyl heptylate, ethyl lactate, ethyl methylphenylglycidate,ethyl nitrate, ethyl propionate, ethyl valerate,heliotropin,hydroxyphenyl-2-butanone (10 percent solution in alcohol),a-ionone,isobutyl anthranilate, isobutyl butyrate,lemon essential oil,maltol,4-methylacetophenone,methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, methyl cinnamate, methyl heptine carbonate, methyl naphthyl ketone, methyl salicylate,mint essential oil,neroli essential oil,nerolin,neryl isobutyrate,orris butter,phenethyl alcohol,rose,rum ether,g-undecalactone,vanilli.
No. Like water ethyl alcohol is a polar solvent and will not dissolve most nonpolar solutes such as oil.
a strong minty smell
minty and also sort of like plastic
Ethyl butanoate has an odor quite similar to that of pineapple.Note to anyone who thinks it would be fun to whip up some for a science fair project: Butanoic acid, one of the compounds you'll need to make it, does not smell a DARN THING like pineapple. Instead, the best words for describing ITS odor would include phrases like "rancid butter" and "warm vomit", and it's pervasive ... it can be readily detected by humans at concentrations of ten parts per million. Esterification is a reversible reaction (and ten ppm is pretty low), so unless you think the judges will be impressed by your "bathroom after a tiki-themed frat party" scent-in-a-vial, you might want to skip this one and instead go for something like methyl salicylate (which smells like wintergreen, but has much less offensive precursors).
Yes, many esters have a pleasant, fruity smell. Indeed, many of the smells we associate with fruit are caused by their ester content. Ethyl ethanoate smells of ripe pears and isoamyl acetate is reminiscent of bananas. However, not all are fruity. Methyl salicylate smells of antiseptic.
Ethyl Butyrate has an odor that has been described as sweet and fruity. With banana and pineapple like features
Ethyl mercaptan
EsterificationSince the salicylic acid is acid, so it will be reacting with ethanol to form ester The two-part name of an ester: the name of the hyrocarbon group from the alcohol comes first, then the name of the carboxylate group derived from the acid name by replacing "-ic" with "-ate"Therefore the name will be ethyl salicylate C9H10O4 (google it to get the image)
This substance is ethyl mercaptan.

Methyl salicylate is the oil of wintergreen, and it gives off that trademark minty scent. Ethyl Acetate is used in glues and nail polish removers. Ethyl Formate is in rum. Here's a list on Wikipedia, found at the bottom of the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester
Aspirin, sodium salicylate, choline salicylate, and magnesium salicylate
