BENZYL PHENYL ETHER Usage And Synthesis

Uses in Perfume

Faint, sweet and remotely floral odor. However, most commercial products seem to have a pronounced "Bitter Almond" note, probably deriving from impurities in this chemical. Besides, benzyl phenyl ether does not seem to offer any unusual or specifically desirable notes which are not obtainable by means of other and equally inexpensive perfume chemicals.

Chemical Properties

Light brown-orange chunks

Uses

Benzyl phenyl ether reacts with aluminum bromide in chlorobenzene solution to afford a mixture of phenol, o-benzyl phenol and dichlorodiphenylmethane. It is a useful as model compound in catalytic chemistry to represent the a-O4 ether bond in lignin and coal. It contains a weak ether bond of 234kJ/mol and belongs to the most thermo-labile compounds in lignin and low rank coal. Influence of alkali carbonates, common additives in biomass conversion, on the reaction pathways of BPE in superheated water has been reported. Cesium-exchanged heteropolyacid catalyzed decomposition of benzyl phenyl ether to aromatics has been investigated. Photo-Claisen rearrangements of benzyl phenyl ether was investigated in cation-exchanged Y zeolites and polyethylenes of differing crystallinities.

General Description

Benzyl phenyl ether is a reactive organic oxygenate, containing ether as functional group, present in subbituminous and bituminous coals. It reacts with aluminium bromide in chlorobenzene solution to afford a mixture of phenol, o-benzyl phenol and dichlorodiphenylmethane. It is a useful as model compound in catalytic chemistry to represent the a-O4 ether bond in lignin and coal. It contains a weak ether bond of 234kJ/mol and belongs to the most thermo-labile compounds in lignin and low rank coal.
