Propyl cinnamate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Propyl cinnamate has a characteristic peach–apricot flavor and a wine-like odor.

Uses

Propyl cinnamate is used as an insect repellant.

Definition

ChEBI: Propyl cinnamate is an alkyl cinnamate.

Preparation

By esterification of cinnamic acid with propyl alcohol in the presence of HCl as a catalyst; or by direct esterification in the presence of benzene.

Synthesis

Propyl cinnamate is prepared by azeotropic esterification of n-Propanol with Cinnamic acid.
