Utilisation

Uses

Other comments :

As many so-called 'benzylic' compounds, Benzyl Benzoate is reminiscent of jasmine and is used for this type of note. With a similar goal, Benzyl Salicylate, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl acetate and Benzyl Cinnamate can be used.
Benzyl Benzoate is part of the 26 allergens used in perfumery.

Stability :

Esters may form their corresponding acid in stability, under the effect of heat.
Aromatic compounds are chromophorous. This means that they may colour through time and in an alkaline medium.

Uses in perfumery :

Benzyl Benzoate is usually used for diluting raw materials as resinoids or Galaxolide®, to reduce its vicosity for use. It is also used in compositions as a fixative and a heavy floral notes modifier, in jasmine and other white flowers accords.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Isomerism :

Benzyl Benzoate does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Benzyl Benzoate is not used in the synthesis of another compound of olfactive interest.

Natural availability :

Benzyl Benzoate is the major component of Peru Balsam Resinoid. It is also found in Tuberose Absolute, Grandiflorum Jasmine Absolute, Narcissus Absolute, Frangipani Absolute…

Synthesis route :

Benzyl Benzoate can be synthesized in three ways. The first method is a transesterification of technical Methyl Benzoate, with Benzyl Alcohol. A second synthesis way makes benzoyl chloride react with sodium benzoate. A last method is the Tishchenko reaction from Benzaldehyde, with sodium or aluminium benzylate.
