beta-Methylphenethyl alcohol Usage And Synthesis

Description

β-Methylphenethyl alcohol has a faint, aromatic odor reminiscent of hyacinth. May be prepared by reduction of the corresponding aldehyde with zinc and acetic acid and subsequent saponification of the sodium salt; two optically active isomers (d- and l-) are known.

Chemical Properties

CLEAR LIQUID

Uses

2-Phenyl-1-propanol was used to study the synergism between enzyme catalysis and microwave irradiation.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-Phenyl-1-propanol is a member of benzenes.

Preparation

By reduction of the corresponding aldehyde with zinc and acetic acid and subsequent saponification of the sodium salt; two optically active isomers (d- and l-) are known

Production Methods

2-Phenyl-1-propanol is made by the catalytic hydrogenation of 2-phenylpropanal. It is used as a component of fragrances and as a food flavoring agent.

Application

beta-Methylphenethyl alcohol is occasionally used in flavor compositions, usually as a tract component in Berry, Melon, Honey and Nut compositions, or in rare floral flavor types. Its taste is rather heavy-sweet, woody-floral, but pleasant in concentrations below 20 ppm. Common use level is 0.5 to 1.5 ppm.

General Description

The mass spectra of 2-phenyl-1-propanol was studied by positive- and negative-ion-fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometric ionization technique.
