1,3-DIOXOLANE, 2-(1-PHENYLETHYL) Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Slightly bitter, Mushroom-like, but not exactly pleasant taste. This Acctal is one of the most commonly used of the cyclic Acctals of Hydratropaldchyde. In spite of its very peculiar odor, it finds application in a great variety of fragrances and - because of its lack of sweetness - not much in flavor compositions.

Uses

Chyprc, Fougerc and other Oakmoss-carrying fragrances can achieve intriguing nuances with this material, and woody bases can be modified into new types. Coumarin and its derivatives arc good sccondaty fixatives, and Opopanax is often a very interesting companion to this Acetal.

Definition

ChEBI: A dioxolane that is 1,3-dioxolane substituted by a 1-phenylethyl group at position 2.

Synthesis

2-(1-phenylethyl)-1,3-dioxolane is produced by condensation of Hydratropaldchyde with Ethylene glycol.
