Methyl benzoate is an organic compound. It is an ester with the chemical formula C6H5COOCH3, sometimes abbreviated as PhCO2Me, where Ph and Me are phenyl and methyl, respectively. Its structure is C6H5−C (=O)−O−CH3. It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents.
Methyl benzoate has a pleasant, distinctive and persistent odor ... Methyl benzoate has been recognized as a chemical degradation product of cocaine. This fact contributes to a forensic procedure where the characteristic odor serves as qualitative indicator.
Methyl benzoate is a volatile aromatic ester compound widely used in perfumery industries. It is naturally occurring in guava, mango, and kiwifruit.

METHYL BENZOATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions.

The most common method of trans-esterification is the reaction of the ester with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst as shown below. The trans-esterification of ethyl acetate to methyl acetate and methyl benzoate to ethyl benzoate are shown below as examples.
Methyl benzoate is more reactive than methyl propanoate because the phenyl group withdraws electrons from the carbonyl carbon by an inductive effect, which increases the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon.
