alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde

Описание

α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde has a jasmine-like odor, particularly on dilution. May be synthesized by condensation of octylaldehyde with benzaldehyde.

Химические свойства

alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is a yellow liquid with a mild, slightly fatty, floral, somewhat herbal odor, and a distinct jasmine note. Similarly to the ??-amyl homolog, ??-hexylcinnamaldehydemust be protected against oxidation by the addition of stabilizers. It is prepared in a manner similar to that of ??-amylcinnamaldehyde by alkaline condensation of excess benzaldehyde with octanal (instead of heptanal). ??-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is widely used in flower compositions (e.g., jasmine and gardenia) and, because of its stability to alkali, in soap perfumes.
