Allyl phenoxyacetate Usage And Synthesis

Aroma

Somewhat sharp, mixed-fruity, mainly Pineapple-like and honey-sweet odor of great tenacity. Heavy-sweet fruity-honey-like taste, somewhat reminiscent of "cooked" fruit.
Rarely, if ever, used in perfumery, except for "honey" bases, etc. Used in flavor compositions, as a modifier in imitation Strawberry, Pineapple, etc. in mere traces.

Chemical Properties

Allyl phenoxyacetate is a clear, colorless to yellowish liquid with a green, sweet, herbal, fruity odor with nuances of galbanum and pineapple.
It is prepared by reaction of phenoxyacetic acid alkali salts with allyl halogenide and used in technical perfumery.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Uses

Allyl Phenoxyacetate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, colorless to light yellow liquid of heavy fruit note odor. it should be stored in glass or tin containers. it is used in pineapple, quince, and fruit flavors with applications in candy and beverages at 1–3 ppm.

Production Methods

Allyl phenoxyacetate can be producted by direct esterification of Allyl alcohol with Phenoxy acetic acid under azeotropic conditions.

Preparation

By direct esterification in benzene solution.

Definition

ChEBI: Allyl phenoxyacetate is a monocarboxylic acid.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ALLK COMPOUNDS.
