'''Ethyl benzoate''', C₉H₁₀O₂, is an [[ester]] formed by the condensation of [[benzoic acid]] and [[ethanol]]. It is a colorless liquid that is almost insoluble in water, but miscible with most organic solvents.

As with many volatile esters, ethyl benzoate has a pleasant odor described as sweet, wintergreen, fruity, medicinal, cherry and grape.<ref>[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1004771.html Ethyl benzoate], thegoodscentscompany.com</ref> It is a component of some fragrances and artificial fruit flavors.

== Preparation ==

A simple and commonly used method for the preparation of ethyl benzoate in the laboratory is the acidic esterification of [[benzoic acid]] with [[ethanol]] and [[sulfuric acid]] as catalyst:<ref>Arthur Israel Vogel.
