Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Benzyl acetate is used in floral reconstructions, especially in jasmine, ylang-ylang and monoï notes.
Year of discovery :
Discovered in 1853. Benzyl acetate was first isolated from jasmine absolute during the 10's by german scientists Albert Hesse and Friedrich Müller, because this extract contains 20 to 35% of this molecule.
Natural availability :
Today, natural Benzyl acetate can be extracted from Grandiflorum Jasmine Absolute (and other origins), Ylang-Ylang Extra EO or Narcissus Absolute.

Isomerism :
Para-Cresyl acetate is a constitutional isomer of Benzyl acetate. Both have the same formula, but para-Cresyl acetate is much more animalic and less floral-jasmine than Benzyl acetate.
Synthesis precursor :
Benzyl acetate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Nowadays, Benzyl acetate is synthesized by an esterification reaction from acetic acid and Benzyl Alcohol, in the presence of an acid catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid.
Stability :
acetates may form acetic acid through time.
Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time
Other comments :
Benzyl acetate has a different polarity than Benzylacetone. However, both molecules have a very similar smell. This is the case of several esters, correlated with their analogous ketone.
