Properties and stability
1. Avoid contact with strong oxidants, strong acids, and strong alkali. It is extremely flammable and should be treated as flammable materials. Can react strongly with oxidants.
2. Found in flue-cured tobacco leaves and burley tobacco leaves.
3. Naturally found in rose oil.
Storage method
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis, and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
1. Obtained from the reaction of benzyl chloride and formic acid. Place benzyl chloride, excess sodium formate and formic acid in a sealed container and react at 140°C for 2 hours. Or add anhydrous acetic acid to anhydrous formic acid under cooling, preheat the mixture to 50°C, slowly add benzyl alcohol, maintain the reaction at 50°C, then add water to wash, dry, and fractionate to obtain the finished product.
2. Tobacco: BU, 56; FC, 18; FC, 40.
Purpose
Soluble industrial solvent, used as solvent for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, stearic acid, quick glue paint, etc. For spices, it can be used to prepare various flavors, such as jasmine, orange blossom, moonflower, hyacinth, dianthus and other flower essential oils; it is also used to prepare apricot, peach, banana, plum, pineapple and other edible flavors.
