Propyl propanoate (also known as propyl propionate and n-propyl propionate) is the organic compound with the molecular formula C6H12O2.

It is the ester of propanol and propionic acid.

Like most esters, propyl propanoate is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor.

The scent of propyl propionate is described as a chemically tinged pineapple or pear.

Because propyl propanoate is a low-odor, moderately volatile ester solvent that is not a hazardous air pollutant (HAP), with good solvent activity and versatility,[4] it is considered a safer substitute for toluene.
