Usage

General Description

Acetic acid o-isopropylphenyl ester, also known as Isopropyl phenyl acetate, is a colorless liquid with a highly fragrant, sweet, floral odor. It is commonly used as a flavoring and fragrance agent in the production of perfumes, soaps, and other personal care products. In addition to its use in the fragrance industry, it is also utilized as a solvent in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, and varnishes. Its chemical structure consists of an acetic acid (vinegar) molecule attached to an o-isopropylphenyl group, making it a versatile compound with various industrial applications. However, it should be handled with care due to its potential irritant properties to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

An efficient method to prepare aryl acetates by the carbonylation of aryl methyl ethers or phenols

Synthesis of valuable chemicals from lignin based compounds is critical for the application of biomass. Here, we develop a method of preparing aryl acetates by the carbonylation of aryl methyl ethers or phenols under low CO pressure. Good to excellent yields of aryl acetates were obtained using different substrates, and a possible reaction mechanism was proposed by conducting a series of control experiments. This method may provide a potential way for the utilization of lignin.
