Home Chemistry Organic Building Blocks Esters Hexyl Benzoate
These compounds have the same murcko framework: benzene,and at least 1 kind of functional groups( —COO(CH2)5CH3).
Hydrolysis: Hydrolysis of hexyl benzoate can be carried out using an acid or a base. In acidic hydrolysis, it will break down into hexyl alcohol and benzoic acid. In basic hydrolysis (saponification), it will form hexyl alcohol and the sodium or potassium salt of benzoic acid.
Transesterification: Hexyl benzoate can undergo transesterification reactions with other 【alcohols|https://www.ambeed.com/alcohols.html】 or 【esters|https://www.ambeed.com/esters.html】 in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as acid or base. This results in the exchange of ester groups between molecules.
Reduction: Hexyl benzoate can be reduced to hexyl benzyl alcohol using reducing agents like hydrogen gas (H2) and a catalyst (e.g., a metal catalyst like palladium on carbon).
