P 2628 (OTTO) n-Propyl acetate, 98% Cas 109-60-4 - used in fragrances and as a flavor additive. It is formed by the esterification of acetic acid and 1-propanol (known as a condensation reaction), often via Fischer–Speier esterification, with sulfuric acid as a catalyst and water produced as a byproduct.

Note
The esterification of acetic acid and n-propanol catalyzed by benzenesulfonic acid and its derivatives in the batch and continuous rectification tower was studied, in order to develop a new effective and green catalyst instead of the oxidative and corrosive sulfuric acid. A series of the comparison system with sulfuric acid was build for the targeted and fast evaluation of catalysts
n-Propyl Acetate is a clear, colorless liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is used as a solvent for cellulose esters, resins and plastics, as a flavoring agent, and in perfumes.
