Fruity-balsamic, rather faint, but actually heavy odor, resembling Phenylethyl butyrate, but less floral. The undertone is floral and rich, but the overall impression is fruitybalsamic.

Chemical Properties

Cinnamyl butyrate has a fruity, slightly floral odor and sweet taste reminiscent of honey. It is used in orange and citrus flavors.

Physical properties

Colorless liquid. Sp.Gr. 1.02. B.P. 300°C. Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Occurrence

Reported found in fresh apple and caja fruit (Spondias lutea L.).

Uses

FEMA 2296 is useful in Sweet Pea, Muguet, Rose, Tuberose, and as a fixative in Citrus fragrances. Blends well with Labdanum, Styrax, Benzoin, Citronellol, Geraniol, Ionones, etc. Occasionally used in flavor compositions for imitation Orange, Citrus and Fruit (Tutti- -frutti) flavors. Concentration is usually mere traces (a few ppm) in the finished product.

Preparation

By esterification of cinnamic alcohol with n-butyric acid.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified
