Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Isobutyl benzoate has a floral-leafy odor reminiscent of rose and
geranium. May be prepared from benzoic acid and isobutyl alcohol
in the presence of HCL catalyst; or by ester exchange between
methylbenzoate and isobutyl alcohol in the presence of potassium
isobutylate. | [Chemical Properties]
