Chemistry & Uses
Year of discovery :
Discovered en 1856.
Natural availability :
Cinnamaldehyde is present in a large quantity in Cassia EO (about 90%) and Ceylon Cinnamon EO (about 75%). It can therefore be extracted from these essential oils by fractional distillation.
Isomerism :
Like Cinnamyl Alcohol, Cinnamaldehyde can be divided into two diastereoisomers: trans or cis. Trans is the most found in nature. Both have a cinnamon-like smell, but the trans is warmer and smells even more like cinnamon than cis. The raw material used in perfumery is usually a mixture of the two isomers.
Synthesis precursor :
Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde provides DihydroCinnamaldehyde and DihydroCinnamyl Alcohol. Moreover, the oxidation of the aldehyde gives a Cinnamic Acid, another compound of olfactory interest. Finally, Cinnamaldehyde forms a Schiff base by reaction with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example.
Synthesis route :
The synthesis of Cinnamaldehyde is made by a condensation of Benzaldehyde with Acetaldehyde, using an excess of Benzaldehyde and gradually adding Acetaldehyde, in order to avoid self-condensation of the latter.
Stability :
Aldehydes may form diethylacetals in alcoholic perfumes, with no real impact on their smell
Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time
Other comments :
Cinnamaldehyde is one of the 26 allergens in perfumery.

Annexe I :
Some regulated synthetic ingredients are found in nature and in certain proportions in natural ingredients. This presence in nature has to be taken into account when calculating limits of use recommended by the IFRA. In case you do not know these concentrations, you can use the ones estimated by the IFRA.
