N Propyl Acetate
Normal propyl acetate (also known as n-propyl acetate, 1-propyl acetate, propyl acetate, 1-acetoxypropane, acetic acid) is an organic compound with a molecular formula of C5H10O2 / CH3COOCH2CH2CH3. It is a clear, colourless ester that has a distinguishable acetate odour, is highly flammable, highly miscible with all common organic solvents (alcohols, ketones, glycols, esters) but only slightly miscible in water.
The primary and most common method for chemically manufacturing n-propyl acetate is the direct esterification of 1-propanol and acetic acid which are heated in the presence of a strong acid, such as sulfuric or methanesulfonic acid. An alternate method involves the ester interchange of 1-propanol with ethyl acetate.
Application
It is commonly used as a flavoring additive. It is also used as solvent for wood lacquers and industrial finishes.Also used as solvent for wood lacquers and industrial finishes.
