Isobutyl salicylate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Isobutyl salicylate has an orchid, wintergreen-like odor similar to amyl salicylate and a bitter taste. May be synthesized by esterification of isobutyl alcohol and salicylic acid.

Chemical Properties

Isobutyl salicylate has a somewhat harsh, floral, herbaceous odor similar to amyl salicylate and a bitter taste.

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid; may have slightly yellowish tinge.Soluble in alcohol and mineral oil, insoluble in water and glycerol. Combustible.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature

Uses

isobutyl salicylate is used as a reactant in the new boron(III)-catalyzed esterifications and amidations of carboxylic acids and Ritter addition reaction.

Uses

Perfumery, flavoring.

Definition

ChEBI: Isobutyl salicylate is a member of phenols and a benzoate ester. It is functionally related to a salicylic acid.

Preparation

By esterification of isobutyl alcohol and salicylic acid.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 3 ppm: sweet, cooling, spicy with fruity nuances
