ETHYL CYCLOHEXYLACETATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid. Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Powerful fruity odor of Raspberry-Apple type, but in no way a “natural” fruit odor. Moderate tenacity.

Uses

Ethyl Cyclohexylacetate is used in fruit and Honey imitation flavors at concentrations equivalent to about 20 ppm in the finished product. It acts partly as a blender, partly as a tixative for some of the more volatile alifatic fruit esters, or the lower Phenylacetates in Honey bases.

Synthesis

Ethyl Cyclohexylacetate is produced by esterification of Cyciohexyl ethanol with Acetic acid or Acetic anhydride.
