(2) Mainly used in the preparation of essence and medicine.
An intermediate of proformiphen (a central skeletal muscle relaxant)
Temporarily allowed as food flavouring agent in GB 2760-1996.
It has a sweet scent of flowers and sweetmeat and a pleasant flavor of fresh fruit after dilution
Natural 3-Phenyl-1-propanol can be found in strawberries, Styrax cream, benzoin cream, tea, Peru Balsam, Cassia leaf oil, cinnamon oil and so on.
(3) As a medicine, it can be applied to Cholecystitis, cholangitis, cholelithiasis, biliary postoperative syndrome, hypercholesterolemia, etc.
(4) Mainly used in the preparation of essence and medicine.
An intermediate of proformiphen, a central skeletal muscle relaxant.
As an antiputrefactiva in cosmetic in combination with piperonal or pepper, 3-Phenyl-1-propanol has a mold resistance on germ and mycete, along with a natural fragrance.
3-Phenyl-1-propanol or its ester derivatives can be used as flavor constituents of flowers such as lilac, hyacinth and keiskei for its aromatic vinegar. 3-Phenyl-1-propanol is used as a reagent in the synthesis of Dihydrocinnamyl Cilnidipine (D448605) and is a potent aroma biotransformation product. Preservative in cosmetics - This alcohol a natural fragrance with antimicrobial properties against bacteria and molds.

Production Method
(1) the catalytic hydrogenation of ethyl cinnamate.
The hydrogenation reaction is conducted in autoclave with chromium-copper-barium catalyst at 200℃ and 20MPa for 5-9h. The filtrate obtained after cooling and filtration is extracted by diethyl ether.? After the recycling of diethyl ether, reduced pressure distillation of the extracting solution is conducted to collect the fraction of 110-112℃（1.06kPa）, which is the finished product. The yield is about 85%.
Grignard reaction of benzyl chloride and oxirane, followed by the hydrolysis with sulfuric acid to obtain 3-Phenyl-1-propanol. The yield is about 65-70%。
(2) The hydrogenation of peruvin or cinnamaldehyde.
