That is propyl alcohol. It will react with ethanoic acid (acetic acid) to make propyl ethanoate (propyl acetate).
pearsCertainly pears is found in many textbooks as the associated scent for n-propyl acetate and many noses may agree with this comparison. Personally I found it to smell very similar to acetone, and in fact the fine folks at DOW Chemical (and BASF) seem to be of the same opinion."N-propyl acetate is a colorless,volatile solvent with an odor similar toacetone. It has good solvency powerfor many natural and synthetic resins.It is miscible with many organicsolvents."- DOW MSDS for n-Propyl Acetate"n-Propyl acetate is a clear, volatile,mobile liquid with a characteristic odourreminiscent of acetone. It is miscible withmany common solvents, e. g. alcohols, ketones,aldehydes, ethers, glycols and glycol ethers,but it is only sparingly soluble in water. "- BASF Product Information page for n-Propyl acetate
propanol + toluic acid = propyl toluate propanol + toluic acid = propyl toluate
Iso-propyl alcohol shows slightly acidic behaviour.
propyl alcohol
Propyl Toluate is a Benzene ring with a methy(CH3) group bonded to one carbon, and a propyl (CH3CH2CH3) bound to another carbon. Its IUPAC name would #-Methyl-#-propylbenzene
pr
The maximum accepted concentration of propyl gallate in foods and cosmetics is approx. 0,1 %.
Propyl acetate has one more carbon atom.
shouldn't it be in alphabetical order when naming alkanes?
