What is Hexyl salicylate ?
Chemical properties
Colorless and transparent oil liquid
Chemical properties
Hexyl Salicylate has been reported in carnation flower absolute . It is a colorless liquid with a green, floral, spicy odor, reminiscent of azaleas. It is used for blossom and herbal notes in perfumes, for example, in soaps, personal hygiene products, and detergents.
Occurrence
Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.
The Uses of Hexyl salicylate
Hexyl salicylate may be used as an internal standard for the determination of allergenic ester, benzyl salicylate in propolis specimens using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC?MS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and ultraviolet-visible (UV?Vis) spectrophotometry. It may also be used as a standard fragrance material for the quantification of the analyte in wastewater treatment plants using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC?MS).
Definition
ChEBI: Hexyl salicylic acid is a benzoate ester.
Preparation
By methyl salicylate exchange with n-hexanol using a sodium methoxylate catalyst.
General Description
Hexyl salicylate belongs to the class of flavor & fragrance standards, for use in food, beverage and cosmetic industry. These standards are widely used to add taste and/or smell to products without aroma, to mask unpleasant odors and to maintain stability of original flavor.
Flammability and Explosibility
Non flammable
Metabolism
Because of the widespread medicinal use of salicyclic acid and its derivatives, there is an extensive literature on the metabolism and excretion of these compounds. Most esters of salicyclic acid hydrolyse to salicylic acid in the body, but this occurs more readily with the lower esters, little of the amyl ester being split. A large proportion of salicylic acid is excreted unchanged by most species; salicyluric acid, gentisic acid, and salicylglucuronides are also known to be excreted (Williams. 1959). Salicylic acid has been found to be teratogenic to rats (Koshakji. 1972).
