2,4-dimethylbenzyl acetate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

2,4-dimethylbenzyl acetate has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, mainly as a modifier for Benzyl acetate in Jasmin bases, where better tenacity is desirable. Also in general as a floral-fruity body for partial substitution of Benzyl acetate, or as a modifier for the so-called Tolyl acetate (Methyl benzyl acetate).

Production Methods

2,4-dimethylbenzyl acetate is produced from 2,4-Dimethylbenzy lalcohol, which can be obtained by reduction of the aldehyde.
