Utilisation

Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Ethyl maltol is used in gourmand, sweet and cooked fruit notes, to add a caramel, burnt and vanillic facet.

Year of discovery :

1963

Natural availability :

Ethyl maltol is not available in its natural state.

Isomerism :

Ethyl maltol does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Ethyl maltol is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Synthesis route :

The synthesis of Ethyl maltol can be done in a single reactor starting from alpha-ethylfurfuryl alcohol. A treatment of this molecule with chlorine allows to enlarge the cycle and to give a intermediate halogenated pyrane. This molecule can then be subjected to a strong acid hydrolysis, which leads to the synthesis of Ethyl maltol.
