Usage

Description

Heptyl cinnamate has a green, leafy odor with a secondary hyacinth note. Heptyl cinnamate is prepared by esterification of nheptanol with cinnamic acid.

Chemical Properties

n-Heptyl cinnamate has a green, leafy odor with a secondary hyacinth note.

Uses

Heptyl Cinnamate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a fairly stable, yellow liquid with a hyacinth odor. it should be stored in glass or tin containers. it is used to smooth out fruity flavors and has application in gelatins and puddings at approximately 20 ppm and in candy, beverages, and ice cream at 2–6 ppm.

Preparation

By esterifcation of n-heptanol with cinnamic acid.

Synthesis and antifungal activity of cinnamic acid esters

Cinnamic, p-coumaric and ferulic acids were isolated from pineapple stems (Ananas comosus var. Cayenne). Twenty-four kinds of esters were prepared from these acids, alcohols and the components of Alpinia. Isopropyl 4-hydroxycinnamate (11) and butyl 4-hydroxycinnamate (12) were found to have almost the same effectiveness in antifungal activity against Pythium sp. at l0 ppm as that of the commercial fungicide iprobenfos (Kitazin P).

A rapid microwave-assisted esterification utilizing the Mukaiyama supported reagent

Microwave heating was applied to a modified Mukaiyama reagent supported on a PS-DVB resin to develop a rapid and efficient protocol for the solution-phase synthesis of esters and lactones starting from alcohol and carboxylic acids. The products were obtained in high purity (NMR analysis) after a simple resin filtration.

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative esterification reaction of aldehydes with alkyl halides under aerobic conditions

An efficient N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative esterification reaction of aldehydes with alkyl halides or alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate is reported. It was worth noting that (1) the configuration of alkyl halides or alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonates was inverted completely, and (2) the presence of oxygen was crucial for this transformation. The reaction proceeded smoothly under mild conditions and various esters were afforded in moderate to good yields. In addition, we have developed an efficient tandem oxidation/ esterification reaction of alcohols. This methodology provides a rare example of a reaction of the Breslow intermediate to sp3-carbon centered electrophiles. An efficient oxidative esterification reaction of aldehydes with alkyl halides or alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonates catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes is reported. Oxygenwas crucial for the reaction, and the configuration of alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate was completely inverted. Copyright
