Usage

Uses

Used in Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry:
Benzyl myristate is used as an emollient and moisturizer for its capacity to make the skin feel soft and smooth. Its incorporation into lotions, creams, and other skincare products is attributed to its long-lasting quality, ensuring that the skin remains hydrated and moisturized over an extended period. This makes benzyl myristate a valuable component in formulations designed to improve skin texture and maintain hydration levels.

Efficient, stable, and reusable Lewis acid-surfactant-combined catalyst: One-pot Biginelli and solvent-free esterification reactions

Cerium(III) trislaurylsulfonate (Ce(LS)3), a Lewis acid and surfactant combined catalyst, was prepared and characterized by SEM, SEM-EDX, XRD, NMR, FT-IR, TG, and elemental analysis. Ce(LS)3 was found to be stable and efficient to catalyze one-pot Biginelli and solvent-free esterification reactions. Furthermore, Ce(LS)3 is easy to recycle after reaction by pouring into cold water and filtration. Present work will shed deep insight into the understanding of the catalytic nature of LASCs, and extend its application in important organic transformations.

Synthesis of benzyl esters using 2-benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate

(Chemical Equation Presented) Triethylamine (Et3N) mediates esterification reactions between the title reagent (1) and carboxylic acids. Alcohols, phenols, amides, and other sensitive functionality are not affected; a dual role for Et3N as a promoter and a scavenger is postulated. Benzyl esters are obtained from substrates including amino acid and sugar derivatives.

Design, synthesis, antibacterial, and QSAR studies of myristic acid derivatives

A series of esters and amides of myristic acid was synthesized and tested in vitro for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. All the compounds showed activity comparable to that of the standard drug, ciprofloxacin. The structural characteristics governing antibacterial activity of myristic acid derivatives was studied using QSAR methodology. The results showed that the antibacterial activity could be modeled using the topological descriptor, valence molecular connectivity index. The predictive ability of the models was cross-validated by construction of a test set. The low residual activity and high cross-validated r2 values ( rcv2 ) observed indicated the predictive ability of the developed QSAR models.

Compositions containing esters of aromatic alkoxylated alcohols and fatty carboxylic acids

A personal care or cosmetic product composition that includes from about 0.1% to about 99% of at least one ester of alkoxylated aromatic alcohol and fatty carboxylic acid, and from about 0.1% to 60% of at least one functional ingredient is provided. The functional ingredients in the composition may include active ingredients and additional ingredients. Especially suitable active ingredients are sunscreen active ingredients and antiperspirant active ingredients. Preferred compositions are sunscreen product formulations and antiperspirant products. In one preferred embodiment, the composition further includes at least one cyclomethicone compound present in the amount of from about 1% to 99% by weight of the composition. A method of improving the protection of human or animal skin or hair from radiation and a method of improving the protection of human or animal skin or hair from perspiration are also provided.

Process for the preparation of carboxylic benzyl esters

Carboxylic benzyl esters can be prepared by reacting benzyl chloride with carboxylic acids in the presence of one or more quaternary ammonium carboxylates as catalyst.

Fatty acid esters of aromatic alcohols and their use in cosmetic formulations

The present invention relates to compounds according to the structure: Wherein R1is a C11to C21saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched hydrocarbon or a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon containing a pendant hydroxyl group, preferably on a carbon atom in a position alpha or beta to the keto group of the ester moiety; X is CH2, OCH2CH2or HC═CHCH2; and R2is H, OCH3, CH3or CH2CH3. These compounds exhibit use in personal care products as dry emollients as well as providing additional characteristics including solvency, dispersants, gloss-enhancing agents, solubilizing agents and melting-point depressants, lubricants, viscosity modulating agents and skin protection factor boosters.
