CAS 101-41-7

Methyl phenylacetate

Description:

Methyl phenylacetate, with the CAS number 101-41-7, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of phenylacetic acid and methanol. This colorless to pale yellow liquid is known for its pleasant, fruity aroma, often likened to that of ripe fruits, making it a popular choice in the fragrance and flavoring industries. Methyl phenylacetate has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. Its chemical formula is C10H12O2, and it features a phenyl group attached to an acetic acid moiety, contributing to its distinctive scent. The compound is utilized in various applications, including as a flavoring agent in food products and as a fragrance component in perfumes and cosmetics. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. However, like many esters, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties and the need for proper safety measures during use.

Methyl phenylacetate

Controlled Product

CAS: 101-41-7

Methyl phenylacetate is a coumarin derivative that is synthesized by an asymmetric synthesis using a solid catalyst. It has been shown to have antiproliferation activity in cell culture studies and to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. The reactions are catalyzed by hydrophobic effect, which helps to bind the methyl phenylacetate with trifluoroacetic acid and form the bound form. This then reacts with hydroxy methyl or dihydroconiferyl alcohol, forming methyl phenacyl acetate as the product.
