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.
