FARNESYL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid; rosy, floral aroma.

Occurrence

Reported found in thyme oil wild or creeping france (0.40%) and ylang ylang oil CO2 extract (2.00%).

Uses

farnesyl acetate is a tonic, also used for perfuming. A variety of beneficial effects on the skin’s metabolic process have been noted with the use of compounds consisting of a mixture of farnesyl acetate, farnesol, and panthenyl triacetate. Studies indicate that a combination of farnesyl acetate and panthenyl triacetate can help reduce sebum production in oily skin.

Production Methods

Farnesyl acetate is produced by Acet ylation of Farnesol, or rather by treatment of Nerolidol with Acetic anydride.

Preparation

Farnesyl acetate is prepared by Acetylation of Farnesol, or rather by treatment of Nerolidol with Acetic anhydride.

Definition

ChEBI: 3,7,11-Trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatrienyl acetate is a sesquiterpenoid.

Aroma threshold values

Medium strength odor, floral type.

Solubility in organics

Soluble in alcohol, oils background, but it does have a faint, fruity and Propylene glycol.

Solubility in organics

Soluble in alcohol, oils and Propylene glycol.
