Isoamyl cinnamate Usage And Synthesis
Description
Isoamyl cinnamate has a balsamic odor reminiscent of cocoa. May be prepared by esterification of cinnamic acid with commercial isoamyl alcohols, which vary in isomer distribution according to source.
Chemical Properties
Isoamyl cinnamate has a balsamic odor reminiscent of cocoa.
Chemical Properties
pale yellow liquid with an iridescent sheen
Occurrence
Reported found in cinnamon and port wine
Definition
ChEBI: Isoamyl cinnamate is a cinnamate ester.
Preparation
By esterification of cinnamic acid with commercial isoamyl alcohols, which vary in isomer distribution according to source.
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 35 ppm: sweet, floral, powdery, berry, and spice nuances
General Description
Pale yellow liquid with iridescent sheen.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
An ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Fire Hazard
Isoamyl cinnamate is probably combustible.
