  • Description Naturally occurring in various types of fruits and other plants, phenylacetic acid is a fragrant phenolic used as a perfume agent and food additive. ?Its pharmaceutical uses include the treatment of hyperammonemia for patients with deficiencies related to the urea cycle, and as a side chain precursor in the production of penicillin G. It also plays a role in the production of Camylofin, Bendazol, and Triafungin. Because of its use in the production of phenylacetone (used to manufacture substituted amphetamines, including methamphetamine), it is a controlled substance.
  • Uses Phenylacetic Acid is a flavoring agent that is crystalline (white, glis- tening), with unpleasant, persisting odor resembling geranium leaf and rose when diluted. it is soluble in most fixed oils and glycerin, slightly soluble in water, and insoluble in mineral oil. it is obtained by chemical synthesis. it is also termed a-toluic acid. Phenylacetic acid?has strong fixative agent and can be directly used in low-or-middle-level soap, cosmetics essences. It is usually to confect the substitute for civetta with indole quinoline type and used in acacia, sweet-scented osmanthus, rose, hosta and other floral essences. Phenylacetic Acid is used in the synthesis of Diclofenac (D436450) and its metabolite 4'-Hydroxydiclofenac (H825225), which is the principal human metabolite of Diclofenac.
