Utilisation

Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Anisyl acetate is widely used for perfuming cosmetics, for white floral and red fruity notes, for almond, cherry and mimosa notes.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Anisyl acetate is present in several red fruits and in sweet acacia, from which it can be extracted in its natural state. However, synthetic Anisyl acetate remains the most used in perfumery.

Isomerism :

Anisyl acetate as we use it in perfumery is ''para-Anisyl acetate ''. This means that its ether group is opposed to the carboxylic group, with respect to its benzene ring. For example, ortho-Anisyl acetate, whose ether group is directly connected to the carboxylic group, is spicier and drier than para-Anisyl acetate.

Synthesis precursor :

Anisyl acetate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Synthesis route :

Anisyl acetate can be synthesized from different reagents, but its synthesis will always end up by an esterification reaction of the Anisyl Alcohol with acetic acid or acetic anhydride, in an acid medium.
