Methyl benzoate (Oil of Niobe) is a pleasant smelling ester of benzoic acid and methanol. It is insoluble in water but readily dissolves in alcohols, oils, paraffins, and other organic solvents.
In synthetic chemistry, methyl benzoate can be selectively brominated, nitrated, chlorinated, hydrogenated, or amidated in several useful aromatic derivatives.
In the air care industries, the pleasant smell of methyl benzoate is utilized in air fresheners, perfumes, deodorants, etc.
In agro-business, methyl benzoate is finding uses as a safer alternative fumigant displacing toxic incumbents such as sulfuryl fluoride, methyl bromide, hydrogen cyanide, nitric oxide, etc.
Methyl benzoate is also used as a carrier solvent for dyes, cellulose esters, etc.
Other important uses include:
bees attractant or bait
insect repellant or insecticide
preservative
masking agent
Carvacryl acetate is an ester of acetic acid and carvacrol. Carvacrol is principal, pungent, phenolic ingredient of Oregano essential oil and is also found in Thyme essential oil. Carvacrol is responsible for antimicrobial, antioxidant, germicidal, antiseptic, and other therapeutic potency of Oregano essential oil.
However, as a phenolic compound, carvacrol is acidic and reactive which significantly impacts the quality, shelf life, and safety of Oregano essential oil. Carvacryl acetate, an ester derivative of carvacrol is neutral, more stable, pleasant smelling, and potentially safer compound.
Possible applications of carvacryl acetate include: preservative; biofilm inhibitor
feed storage additive; disinfectant; fragrance ingredient for soaps, perfumes, detergents, vanishes; etc.

Vanillin acetate is a pleasant, vanilla smelling ester of vanillin and acetic acid. Vanillin, the parent compound is component of vanilla bean extract or is synthetically produced. Apparently, vanillin is a weak phenolic acid which can be stabilized esterification of the phenol group. Just like vanillin, vanillyl acetate has several important uses including:
odorant for candles, incense, potpourri, perfume, air freshener, floor polish, vanish, deodorant,
synthetic intermediate in the manufacturing of therapeutics
all-purpose stain in chromatography
antibacterial, anti-mold, fungicidal preservative
antioxidant
herbicide

Tris acetate is a white, crystalline, powder with a faint vinegar odor. Tris acetate, or tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane acetic acid salt, is a is highly soluble ammonium salt commonly used as a biological buffer ingredient biological, medical, and biochemical processes. One such process requiring pH control with tris acetate is the DNA extraction. DNA extraction is a pH-sensitive process which uses tris acetate buffer to keep the pH stable between pH 7 and 9. Tris-acetate is also used to prepare TAE buffer (tris-acetate-EDTA), which is used as a running buffer for DNA agarose gels.
Thymol acetate is a phenolic monoterpene ester made from acetic acid and thymol. It is widely acknowledged that acetylation reduces the toxicity associated with thymol. Hence, thymol acetate is a more powerful and safer substitute for thymol. In fact, scientists recently established that both carvarcyl and thymol esters show higher antifungal activity than their phenolic analogs (Wang, K., et. al., Natural Product Research, Vol 33, 2019, Issue 10, https://doi.org/10.1080/14786419.2017.1419232). Due to its safety, thymol acetate find uses as an antifungal, antimold, antibacterial, antioxidant, and disinfectant in household cleaners.

Sodium valerate (NaOOCCH2CH2CH2CH3) is a salt of valeric (n-pentanoic) acid. Valeric acid is a corrosive short chain (C5) fatty acid with unpleasant odor, which necessitates its conversion to salts for easier handling. Valeric acid can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass such as Valeriana officinalis roots.
Sodium valerate is a colorless powder which is slightly soluble in water and methanol. It is commonly used as a
preservative,
feed additive,
electrolyte,
synthetic reagent,
bacterial metabolite, etc.
