1-BENZYLOXY-2-METHOXY-4-(1-PROPENYL)BENZENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White, crystalline solid; floral odor of the carnation type. Soluble in alcohol, ether. Combustible.

Chemical Properties

Colorless prismatic crystals. M.P. 30° C. Very faint, warm-spicy odor with a haylike undertone. Like most other crystalline materials, it can display a range of unusual odors mostly deriving from surface adsorption. The odor of the material itself is best evaluated when dissolved in an odorless solvent, e.g. Diethyl phthalate. A 5% solution in this solvent has hardly any odor at all. Insoluble in water, poorly soluble in Propylene glycol, somewhat soluble in alcohol, soluble in oils.

Uses

1-Benzyloxy-2-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)benzene is mainly used as a fixative in heavy floral fragrance types, in carnation and many types of spicy fragrances, and as a sweetener along with Rose fragrances, etc. It seems to be much less popular than the Benzyl-iso+ugenol. The latter being sweeter and more versatile in use.

Occurrence

Apparently has not been reported to occur in nature.

Uses

Perfumery, fixative.

Preparation

By benzylation of isoeugenol.

Definition

ChEBI: (E)-isoeugenyl benzyl ether is a member of methoxybenzenes.
