| 2-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-propanol Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | α,α-Dimethylphenethyl alcohol has a fresh, floral odor and bitter taste. | Chemical Properties | Clear colorless liquid or low melting solid | Chemical Properties | 2-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-propanol has
not yet been found in nature. The alcohol has a floral, herbaceous odor, reminiscent
of lilac, and is prepared by a Grignard reaction of benzylmagnesium chloride
and acetone. It is used in perfumery for various flower notes (e.g., lilac, hyacinth,
mimosa). The alcohol is stable to alkali and is thus suited for soap perfumes. It is
used to prepare a number of esters, which are also used as fragrance substances. | Occurrence | Reported found in cocoa. | Uses | 2-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-propanol was used in the preparation of 2-methyl-1-phenyl-2-propyl bromide. | Uses | 2-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-propanol is used in confecting floral essences, such as lily, narcissus, jasmine and keiskei and other advanced floral essences. Its acetic ester has fresh fragrance so that it has especial value. | Preparation | From acetone and benzyl magnesium chloride or benzyl magnesium bromide. | Synthesis Reference(s) | Tetrahedron Letters, 27, p. 3129, 1986 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(00)84733-4 | Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Combustible liquid. When heated
to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes. |
