CITRONELLYL CINNAMATE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Citronellyl cinnamate is occasionally used and has been suggested as a blender for Hydroxycitronellal, Bucinal, Cyclamal, etc. in delicate floral fragrances. It will also act as a fixative, but its odor contribution is almost nil. It has a tendency to polymerize, whereby it turns absolutely odorless (and cloudy-viscous), depending upon the method of preparation and added inhibitors.

Production Methods

Citronellyl cinnamate is produced by direct esterification of Citronellol with Cinnamic acid and a catalyst under azeotropic conditions or from Cinnamyl chloride plus Citronellol and a catalyst.
