| | Benzyl formate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Benzyl formate has an intense, pleasant, floral-fruity odor and sweet taste reminiscent of apricot and pineapple. | | Chemical Properties | Colorless liquid; fruity-spicy odor. Resembles benzyl acetate in many respects but differs in its greater volatility. Miscible with alcohols, ketones, oils, aromatic, aliphatic and halogenated hydrocarbons; insoluble in water. | | Occurrence | Reported found in the oil of Rosa rugosa, sour cherry, American cranberry, ligonberry, coffee, black tea,
Agaricus mushroom, Ocimum basilicum, Bourbon vanilla and crowberry (Empetrum nigrum Coll.). | | Uses |
Solvent for cellulose esters; in perfumery.
It has a very sweet taste, more fruity than floral, spicy Banana-type. It is used quite frequently in perfume compositions, for floral bases such as Jasmin, Gardenia, NeroIi, Hyacinth, Carnation, and Fougeres and used in flavour compositions for imitation: Apricot, Banana, Cherry, Chocolate, Honey, Liquor, Nut, Peach, Plum, Prune, Pineapple, etc. Concentrations are usually about 12-15 ppm in the finished product. In chewing gum, the concentration may be as high as 35 ppm.
| | Definition | ChEBI: Benzylformate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol. | | Preparation | By heating a mixture of formic/acetic anhydride and benzyl alcohol to 50°C; by passing a mixture of formic acid and
excess benzyl alcohol over a catalyst (ThO2 or TiO2) at high temperature. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: fresh cherry with a berry, strawberry fruity nuance. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of the American Chemical Society, 82, p. 2380, 1960 DOI: 10.1021/ja01494a065
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 55, p. 2952, 1990 DOI: 10.1021/jo00296a072 | | Hazard | May be narcotic in high concentration. | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion andskin contact. Mutation data reported. Probably narcotic inhigh concentrations. When heated todecomposition it emits acrid, irritating fumes. |
