Utilisation

Uses

Other comments :

Comparing it to other salicylates, Hexyl Salicylate is the most neutral.

Stability :

May form Salicylic acid through time.
Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time
Unstable in acidic products, except antiperspirants, and in very alkaline products.

Uses in perfumery :

Hexyl Salicylate is used in white flowers, fruity, green and marine notes. Can be used in eaux fraiches, fougere perfumes and colognes. Provides a long-lasting fresh note.

Isomerism :

Hexyl Salicylate does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Hexyl Salicylate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Natural availability :

Hexyl Salicylate is present in trace amounts in Osmanthus Absolute which does not enable the obtention of a natural extract. It is therefore synthetic Hexyl Salicylate that is most often used in perfumery.

Synthesis route :

Hexyl Salicylate is synthesized by an esterification reaction between salicylic acid and hexanol. This reaction is catalysed by the presence of a strong concentrated acid in the reaction medium such as sulfuric acid.
