3-фенил-1-пропилацета

Химические свойства

3-Phenylpropyl acetate has a characteristic floral, spicy odor reminiscent of phenylpropyl alcohol and of geranyl acetate with a bittersweet, burning flavor suggestive of currant.

Вхождение

Reported found among the constituents of the essential oils of narcissus and Heracleum candicans and probably in cinnamon. It is also reported found in guava fruit, guava peel, melon, cassia leaf and rum.

Использование

3-Phenylpropyl Acetate is used in perfume compositions as a modifier in Hyacinth, Rose, Oriental bases, Lilac and Lily, Reseda, etc., and it blends well with the “rose alcohols”, the Linalool family, Styrax and Ylang, Labdanum, Amylsalicylate, etc. Its neutral sweetness makes it versatile, but it does not lend much odour power to a composition. Smaller amounts are used in spice flavours, fruit complexes, and certain berry flavors, including Cherry. The concentration in such flavours is equivalent to 0.5 to 10 ppm in the functional product.

Подготовка

By acetylation of the corresponding alcohol.
