ANISYL FORMATE Structural

What is ANISYL FORMATE?

Chemical properties

Colorless liquid; lilac odor. Soluble in 5.5 volumes of 70% alcohol. Combustible.

Chemical properties

Anisyl formate has a floral, sweet, floral, herbaceous-green odor.

Occurrence

Reported found in Vanilla fragrans and Ribes species.

The Uses of ANISYL FORMATE

Anisyl formate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a fairly stable, colorless to light yellow liquid of floral odor. It should be stored in glass, tin, or resin-lined containers. It is used in berry flavors for applications in beverages, candy, and baked goods at 3–10 ppm.

The Uses of ANISYL FORMATE

Perfumery, flavoring.

Preparation

By direct esterification of anisic alcohol with formic acid.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Methoxybenzyl formate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol.

Aroma threshold values

Odor characteristics are sweet, spicy, vanilla-like with powdery fruity nuances.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 50 ppm: sweet, vanilla, spice, with fruity heliotropine-like nuances.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Metabolism

Esters of benzyl alcohol, such as the acetate, are rapidly hydrolysed in vivo to benzyl alcohol, which is then oxidized. The expected general reaction of primary aromatic alcohols in the animal body is oxidation to the corresponding aromatic acid, which is usually excreted as a glycine conjugate and to a lesser extent as an ester glucuronide. In rabbits, benzyl alcohol is almost entirely converted to benzoic acid, which is excreted mainly as hippuric acid . In substituted anisoles with a carboxyl group or a potential carboxyl group attached to the aromatic ring, the ether link is relatively stable(Williams, 1959).
