Utilisation

Uses

Other comments :

Methyl Benzoate has a more neutral smell, but much more powerful than Benzyl Benzoate.

Stability :

Can form benzoic acid through time.
Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time

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.

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.

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.

Synthesis route :

The synthesis of Methyl Benzoate can be made by esterification between benzoic acid and methanol, by acid catalysis.
