2-Phenethyl propionate, also known as phenethyl propanoate or phenylethyl propionate,[2] is the ester of phenethyl alcohol and propionic acid. It can be found in peanuts.[citation needed]

It has shown antifungal activity[3] and was tested as a natural pesticide.[4] It is used in some preparations used in the management of bed bugs.[5] In the U.S it is considered a "minimal risk pesticide" and can be used as a pesticide without any registration.[6] It is currently used as an ingredient in "organic" pesticide products.[7]
