Usage

Uses

Used in the Perfume Industry:
Farnesyl acetate is used as a fragrance ingredient for its rosy, floral aroma. Its medium strength odor makes it a popular choice in the creation of various perfumes and scented products.
Used in the Cosmetics Industry:
Farnesyl acetate is used as a skin tonic, helping to improve the skin's metabolic process. Studies have shown that a combination of farnesyl acetate, farnesol, and panthenyl triacetate can provide various skin benefits.
Used in Skin Care Products:
Farnesyl acetate is used as an ingredient in skin care products to help reduce sebum production in oily skin when combined with panthenyl triacetate. This combination can be beneficial for individuals with oily skin types, helping to maintain a balanced and healthy complexion.
Occurrence:
Farnesyl acetate has been reported to be found in thyme oil wild or creeping France (0.40%) and ylang ylang oil CO2 extract (2.00%).

Highly Active Manganese-Mediated Acylation of Alcohols with Acid Chlorides or Anhydrides

To explore further the practical uses of highly active manganese (Mn?), a variety of alcohols were treated with Mn?, and the resulting complexes were coupled with acid chlorides and/or acetic anhydride in the absence of any extra catalyst. The subsequent reactions took place smoothly under mild conditions, providing the corresponding O-acylation products in good to excellent isolated yields.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING BISABOLOL WHICH IS FARNESOL FREE OR IS LOW IN FARNESOL

The present invention relates to a method of producing pure or enriched bisabolol by separating substance mixtures comprising bisabolol and farnesol by selective esterification of farnesol and subsequent distillative separation. The invention relates specifically to a method as specified above comprising the selective transesterification of mixtures comprising formyl-bisabolol and formyl-farnesol and subsequent distillative separation. The present invention furthermore relates to a method of producing farnesol esters.
