Isobutyl cinnamate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Isobutyl cinnamate has a sweet, fruity, balsamic odor and a sweet taste reminiscent of currant. Prepared by heating cinnamyl chloride and isobutyl alcohol.

Chemical Properties

Isobutyl cinnamate has a fruity, balsamic, peach, sweet odor; sweet taste reminiscent of currant

Chemical Properties

Colorless oil; amber fragrance.Soluble in two volumes of 70% alcohol. Combustible.

Occurrence

Reported found in kumquat peel oil.

Uses

Perfumery.

Uses

Isobutyl Cinnamate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, colorless to light yellow liquid of fruity odor. it is miscible with alco- hol, chloroform, and ether but is practically insoluble in water. storage should be in glass or tin-lined containers. it is used in fruit flavors such as cherry and prune with applications in beverages, ice cream, candy, and baked goods at 1–5 ppm.

Preparation

By heating cinnamyl chloride and isobutyl alcohol

Definition

ChEBI: Isobutyl cinnamate is a cinnamate ester.

General Description

Isobutyl cinnamate can be used as a food flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient.

Metabolism

Since the hydrolysis of ester linkages in foreign compounds may be catalysed by many different esterases, which are to be found in all animals and bacteria and have, for the most part, a low degree of substrate specificity (Parke, 1968), it seems probable that isobutyl cinnamate, like other esters, would be hydrolysed to form the corresponding acid and alcohol.
