7493-78-9 Usage
Chemical Properties
α-Amylcinnamyl acetate has a mild fruity, green odor with a balsamic and slightly floral undernote; somewhat fruity flavor.
Occurrence
Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.
Uses
α-Amylcinnamyl Acetate can be used for fragrant substances for hair cosmetics.
Preparation
From amyl cinnamic alcohol and acetic acid under azeotropic conditions
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 15 ppm: earthy, fruity, spicy, powdery and balsamic.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic skin irritant.When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke andirritating fumes.
Metabolism
Cinnamic alcohol is mainly metabolized to benzoic acid, presumably via cinnamic
acid. Substitution apparently prevents oxidation to benzoic acid, since 2-ethylcinnamic alcohol is
partly excreted as α-ethylcinnamic acid (30-33% in rabbits) (Williams, 1959).
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7493-78-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,4,9 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7493-78:
(6*7)+(5*4)+(4*9)+(3*3)+(2*7)+(1*8)=129
129 % 10 = 9
So 7493-78-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
