The [[chemical compound]] '''propyl acetate''', also known as '''propyl ethanoate''', is a common [[solvent]]. This clear, colourless liquid is known by its characteristic odour of pears. Due to this fact, it is commonly used as a flavouring additive. It is formed by the [[esterification]] of [[acetic acid]] and [[propan-1-ol]].
