Ethyl benzoate is a colorless to pale yellow colored chemical compound with a pleasant wintergreen mint flavor used as a food flavoring agent. It is alse called Benzoic acid, ethyl ester; Benzoic ether; Benzoyl ethyl ether; Ethyl benzenecarboxylate ; Ethyl benzoate (natural); Ethylester kyseliny benzoove; Ethylester kyseliny benzoove [Czech] and so on.

Use of Ethyl benzoate
Because of its pleasant mixed fruity and woody odor, Ethyl benzoate is used as a perfume scent under the name essence de niobe.
Ethyl benzoate is a volatile compound and tends to cause irritation of skin, eyes and respiratory tract, if inhaled. Moreover, it tends to react adversely with acidic and alkaline substances and also with oxidizing agents. Considering all these, this compound needs to be stored in airtight and non-corroding containers away from direct sunlight. It needs to be stored in a cool, dry and well ventilated place.
all esters, e.g. benzyl benzoate, ethyl propanoate, any ester is neutral
THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM YAHOO ANSWERS:Benzene and magnesium hydroxide and magnesium bromide.I am betting you are doing a Grignard reactionEthyl benzoate + 2 phenylmagnesium bromide --> triphenylmethanol•MgBr saltif water is present, the grignard reacts with the water firstPhenylmagnesium bromide + H2O --> benzene + MgOHBr
The products from the reaction of n-amyl alcohol and acetic acid are ethyl pentanoate (an ester) and water. CH3COOH + CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ==> CH3COOCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 + H2O acetic acid + n-amyl alcohol ==> ethyl propanoate + water
One of the many is ethyl alcohol.
You just might get some CO2. (That's a gas.) The yeast cells will ferment the glucose in to ethyl alcohol and Carbon dioxide. The CO2 being in the gaseous form will diffuse in the atmosphere and in the test tube, ethyl alcohol in diluted form with water will be found.
The reaction of benzoic acid with ethanol typically results in the formation of ethyl benzoate. Ethyl benzoate has a pleasant, fruity smell reminiscent of cherries or strawberries.
The ester formed from octyl benzoate is called octyl benzoate. It is formed when octanol reacts with benzoic acid in the presence of a catalyst. This ester is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as a fragrance ingredient or UV filter.
There are different formulations for denaturing ethyl alcohol. One such formulation adds isopropyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone and denatonium benzoate to the ethyl alcohol to make it unpalatable.
Ethyl Benzoate
The formula is for benzyl acetate (as an example).
all esters, e.g. benzyl benzoate, ethyl propanoate, any ester is neutral
Methyl benzoate, an organic compound, is an ester. It is a colorless liquid that is not soluble in water and has a fruity smells. Some uses for methyl benzoate are as a solvent and a pesticide.
ethyl alcohol
When ethanol and benzoic acid combine, the products depend on the reaction conditions. Under acidic conditions, esterification can occur producing ethyl benzoate and water. Under basic conditions, the sodium salt of benzoic acid may form.
The product formed would be benzoic acid. Ethyl benzoate reacts with water in the presence of hydrochloric acid and heat to undergo hydrolysis, breaking the ester bond. This results in the formation of benzoic acid and ethanol.
One gram of the salt is soluble in 2 ml of water, in 75 ml of ethyl alcohol, and in 50 ml of 90 % ethyl alcohol. The salt is insoluble in ethyl ether.

It also includes the solubility in water a variety of temperatures.
Ethyl Benzoate. It's a reaction of benzoic acid and ethanol
