Description

Allyl benzyl ether is an ethyl ester, which is a compound of the organic acid, hydrochloric acid and the alcohol, ethanol. Allyl benzyl ether is used in the production of serotonin, an important neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. Serotonin has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of many bacteria by stimulating the release of serotonin from nerve endings. This compound also inhibits plant physiology. The hydrolysis of allyl benzyl ether to release methyl anthranilate can be catalyzed by either inorganic acids or oxidation catalysts. The reaction mechanism for this process has not yet been elucidated, but it appears that patterning may be involved.
