Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Methyl Benzoate is used in white floral notes such as ylang-ylang, jasmine, tuberose, mimosa or leather and cinnamic notes.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Methyl Benzoate is especially present in Ylang-Ylang Extra EO (and other ylang fractions), from which it can be extracted in its natural state.
Isomerism :
Phenylacetic Acid and Anisic Aldehyde are constitutional isomers of Methyl Benzoate. Their smell is however very different.
Synthesis precursor :
Methyl Benzoate is a major intermediate in the synthesis of Polyethylene Terephtalate (PET), which is the plastic that we consume every day.
Synthesis route :
The synthesis of Methyl Benzoate can be made by esterification between benzoic acid and methanol, by acid catalysis.
