Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Its pleasant flavour has been utilized outside of the USA (where it is not officially permitted) in various fruit complexes, mainly as a supporting note since Isopropylbenzyl ether is a very stable chemical. It is also used in the type of fruit flavour used in the so-called “wine-gum”, a semi-soft gelatin candy that is usually transparent and flavoured with a winey fruit flavour.
| [Production Methods]
Isopropylbenzyl ether is produced 1) from Benzyl chloride and iso-propanol under alkaline conditions. 2) from Benzyl alcohol and iso-propanol by dehydration.
