Usage

Description

TERPINYL FORMATE is an organic compound derived from Ceylon cardamom essential oil, characterized by its pleasant, floral, and citrus odor. It has a bitter taste at high concentrations, which transitions to a dry and fruity taste at lower levels.

Uses

Used in Fragrance Industry:
TERPINYL FORMATE is used as a fragrance ingredient for its distinct floral and citrus scent. Its ability to provide a pleasant aroma makes it a valuable addition to the formulation of various perfumes, colognes, and other scented products.
Used in Flavor Industry:
TERPINYL FORMATE is used as a flavoring agent for its unique bitter taste at high levels and dry, fruity taste at lower levels. It is commonly utilized in the food and beverage industry to enhance the taste of various products, such as candies, beverages, and other confectionery items.
Used in Essential Oils:
TERPINYL FORMATE is used as a component in essential oils, particularly in Ceylon cardamom essential oil. Its presence contributes to the overall aroma and therapeutic properties of the essential oil, making it a sought-after ingredient in the production of aromatherapy products and natural remedies.
Used in Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:
TERPINYL FORMATE is used as an additive in cosmetics and personal care products, such as lotions, creams, and shampoos, for its pleasant scent and potential skin benefits. Its inclusion can enhance the sensory experience of using these products and provide a refreshing, uplifting effect for the user.

Preparation

By cold formylation of terpineol, using formic-acetic anhydride (Arctander, 1969). Uses: In public use before the 1920s. Use in fragrances in the USA amounts to approximately 10001b/yr.

Synthesis

May be produced from d-α-terpineol and formic acetic anhydride; the racemic α-terpineol is also obtained by an analogous synthesis.

Discovery of a novel series of α-terpineol derivatives as promising anti-asthmatic agents: Their design, synthesis, and biological evaluation

A series of novel α-terpineol derivatives were designed and synthesized through structural derivatization of the tertiary hydroxyl moiety or reduction of the double bond. Of the resulting compounds, eight compounds enhanced relaxation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) compared to the α-terpineol precursor, and four compounds (4a, 4d, 4e, and 4i)were superior or comparable to aminophylline at a concentration of 0.75 mmol/L. Assays for 3′-5′-Cyclic adenosine monophpsphate (cAMP) activation revealed that some representative α-terpineol derivatives in this series were capable of upregulating the level of cAMP in ASM cells. Further in vivo investigation using the asthmatic rat model, illustrated that treatment with the compounds 4a and 4e resulted in significantly lowered lung resistance (RL) and enhanced dynamic lung compliance (Cldyn), two important parameters for lung fuction. Moreover, treatment with 4e downregulated the levels of both IL-4 and IL-17. Due to its several favorable physiological functions, including ASM relaxation activity, cAMP activation capability, and in vivo anti-asthmatic efficacy, 4e is a promising remedy for bronchial asthma, meriting extensive development.

ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING THYMOL AND A TERPINYL DERIVATIVE

The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition and a method for disinfection involving the antimicrobial composition. It particularly relates to an antimicrobial composition for personal cleaning, oral care or hard surface cleaning applications. It was found that compositions comprising thymol, selected terpinyl derivatives and a carrier provide synergistic antimicrobial action. In a preferred aspect the composition also comprises 1 to 80 %-wt of surfactant.

SOLVOLYTIC DISPLACEMENT OF ALKYL HALIDES BY METAL SALTS. PREPARATIVE PROCEDURES FOR ALLYL-, BENZYL- AND TERTIARY ALKYL-OXY DERIVATIVES USING THE ZINC SALTS

Reaction of allylic, benzylic and tertiary alkyl halides with zinc oxide in protic solvents leads to the formation of the corresponding alcohols, ethers and esters in good yields.The scope and limitations of this reaction have been examined.The possible involvement of ion quadruplets in the reaction is suggested.
