Propyl acetate, also known as propyl ethanoate, is an organic compound. Nearly 20,000 tons are produced annually for use as a solvent. This colorless liquid is known by its characteristic odor of pears. Due to this fact, it is commonly used in fragrances and as a flavor additive. It is formed by the esterification of acetic acid and propan-1-ol, often via Fischer–Speier esterification, with sulfuric acid as a catalyst and water produced as a byproduct.{{Citation |last=Papa |first=Anthony J. |title=Propanols |date=2011-10-15 |url=https://doi.org/10.1002/14356007.a22_173.pub2 |work=Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry |place=Weinheim, Germany |publisher=Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
