| Phenethyl phenylacetate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Colorless to pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid | | Chemical Properties | Phenylethyl Phenylacetate has been identified in, for
example, the flower concrete of Michelia champaca L. It is a colorless liquid or
in the form of crystals (mp 26.5°C), which have a heavy, sweet, rose or hyacinth
odor and a distinct honey note. The ester is used particularly in floral fragrance
compositions and as a fixative. | | Chemical Properties | Phenethyl phenylacetate has a heavy, sweet, floral and balsamic odor, somewhat rosy and a sweet, honey-like flavor. | | Occurrence | Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. | | Uses | 2-Phenylethyl 2-Phenylacetate is an antimicrobial spray applied freshening compounds for fabric. | | Uses | Phenethyl Phenylacetate is a flavoring agent that is a colorless or
pale yellow liquid, with an odor resembling roses and hyacinth,
which becomes solid at <26°c (78.8°f). it is soluble in alcohol, insol-
uble in water. it is obtained by chemical synthesis. | | Preparation | By esterification of phenylacetic acid with phenethyl alcohol in the presence of H2SO4; also by direct esterification in the
presence of gaseous HCl. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 25 ppm: honey, floral, green, rose, cocoa, hay and tropical body. | | Flammability and Explosibility | Nonflammable | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS. |
