PHENETHYL SALICYLATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Phenylethyl Salicylate has been reported to occur in some essential flower oils, is a crystalline solid (mp 44°C) with a weak, long-lasting, balsamic, blossom odor, reminiscent of rose and hyacinth.

Chemical Properties

Phenethyl salicylate has a faint but persistent rose-like odor, somewhat hyacinth- and carnation-like. It has a sweet taste suggestive of peach, apricot and honey.

Chemical Properties

White to light yellow crystalline powder

Preparation

From phenethyl alcohol and methylsalicylate by interchange; also by esterification of phenethyl alcohol with salicylic acid.

Definition

ChEBI: Phenethyl salicylate is a member of phenols and a benzoate ester. It is functionally related to a salicylic acid.

Production Methods

Phenethyl salicylate can be produced 1) from Phenylethyl alcohol and Methyl salicylate by alcohol interchange reaction. 2) by azeotropic esterification of Phenylethyl alcohol with Salicylic acid.

Safety Profile

Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes
