3-фенил-1-пропанола

Химические свойства

3-Phenyl-1-propanol occurs both in free and esterified forms in resins and balsams (e.g., benzoe resin and Peru balsam). It has been identified in fruits and cinnamon.
Hydrocinnamic alcohol is a slightly viscous, colorless liquid with a floralbalsamic odor, slightly reminiscent of hyacinths. Esterification with aliphatic carboxylic acids is important because it leads to additional fragrance and flavor materials.
Hydrocinnamic alcohol is prepared by hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. A mixture of hydrocinnamic alcohol and the isomeric 2-phenylpropanol can be obtained from styrene by a modified oxo synthesis. The two isomers can be separated by distillation.
Hydrocinnamic alcohol is used in blossom compositions for balsamic and oriental notes.
