Folding chemistry
1. The chemical properties of ethyl benzoate are relatively stable, and hydrolysis occurs in the presence of caustic to form benzoic acid and ethanol. It was heated to 305 ° C in the sealed tube and partially decomposed. Decomposes under electric spark to produce acetylene, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and a small amount of methane. Heating to 400 ° C in the presence of cerium oxide produces benzoic acid and ethylene. Ethyl benzoate and sodium ethoxide are relatively stable when heated to 120 °C. However, it decomposed into sodium benzoate and diethyl ether at 160 °C. Ethyl benzoate is reacted with chlorine at 200 ° C to give benzoyl chloride and a small amount of acetyl chloride. Heating with bromine to 170-270 ° C produces benzoic acid and vinyl bromide. It reacts with phosphorus pentachloride at 140 ° C to form ethyl chloride and benzoyl chloride.
2. Ethyl benzoate is reacted with lithium aluminum hydride in an ether solution to form benzyl alcohol. When heated to about 500 ° C with ammonia in the presence of alumina or cerium oxide, benzonitrile and ethylene are formed. The reaction with ammonia at 200 ° C produces benzamide. Ethyl benzoate can form crystalline complexes with various metal salts and tin chloride, aluminum trichloride, titanium chloride, magnesium iodide, antimony pentachloride, etc. Most of these crystalline complexes are unstable. It is easy to decompose in the air.
3. Ethyl benzoate and trifluoroacetic acid molecules can not only form a bimolecular exciplex, but also form a 2:1 trimolecular exciplex. The formation pathway is to form a bimolecular exciplex and then interact with the ethyl benzoate molecule instead of the dimer of ethyl benzoate.
4. It is a micro-toxic class. The acute toxicity LD50 was 6500 mg/kg (rat oral).
