BENZYL CROTONATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

BENZYL CROTONATE is a colorless or very pale straw-colored oily liquid. Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Warm-herbaceous, mildly spicy, but not pungent odor of moderate tenacity.

Uses

This ester is one of many esters of unsaturated acids to become of perfumery interest within the past decade or so. The warm, herbal notes are particularly interesting because they display such versatility that the perfumer soon will find himself using these esters in Rose, Lavender, Ambre, Oriental, Fougere, etc. and in the reconstruction of essential oils, all because these esters lend "natural" notes and warmth to the composition.

Preparation

By direct esterification of Crotonic acid with Benzylalcohol under azeotropic conditions.
