Профиль реактивности

BENZYL PHENYLACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. BENZYL PHENYLACETATE is sensitive to excessive light and heat.

Пожароопасность

BENZYL PHENYLACETATE is probably combustible.

Растворимость в органика

Poorly soluble in Propylene glycol, soluble in alcohol and oils.
