Cinnamyl Alcohol
1. Basic Product Information
Product Name: Cinnamyl Alcohol
CAS Number: 104-54-1
Molecular Formula: C9H10O
Molecular Weight: 134.18
Synonyms: 3-Phenylprop-2-en-1-ol, Cinnamic alcohol, Styryl carbinol
Product Category: Fragrance raw material, cosmetic flavor additive, pharmaceutical intermediate, organic synthetic substrate
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Indicators
- Appearance: White to pale yellow crystalline solid at room temperature
- Odor: Mild sweet floral balsamic odor, characteristic hyacinth fragrance
- Solubility: Soluble in ethanol, methanol, chloroform, ether and propylene glycol; slightly soluble in hot water, insoluble in cold water and aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Melting Point: 32–34 °C
- Boiling Point: 250–254 °C (760 mmHg)
- Density (40 °C, liquid): 1.039–1.043 g/cm3
- Refractive Index (40 °C): 1.578–1.582
- Flash Point: >100 °C
- Hygroscopicity: Non-hygroscopic under sealed dry storage
- Aqueous Stability: Stable under neutral conditions; prone to oxidation and yellow discoloration upon long-term exposure to air and light
Chemical Characteristics
- Molecular Structure: Allylic aromatic alcohol with conjugated phenyl and double bond structure
- Core Functional Mechanism: Reactive hydroxyl and carbon-carbon double bond; readily undergoes esterification, oxidation, hydrogenation and addition reactions to synthesize fragrance esters and pharmaceutical derivatives
- Photostability: Light-sensitive; UV irradiation accelerates oxidation to form cinnamaldehyde and dark polymer impurities
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 120 °C; prolonged high-temperature heating promotes oxidative degradation
- Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with most polar protic solvents and cosmetic oils; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong alkalis and heavy metal salts
3. Main Application Fields
- Core Application: Daily Fragrance Raw Material
Key flavoring ingredient for hyacinth, lilac, rose, jasmine perfume, soap essence and air freshener formulas - Cosmetic Functional Additive
Permitted fragrance component in skin care cream, body lotion and hair care products; mild anti-microbial auxiliary - Pharmaceutical Synthetic Intermediate
Building block for manufacturing anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and cardiovascular small-molecule drugs - Food Flavor Additive
Flavor enhancer for candy, baked goods and beverage essences under permitted dosage - Laboratory Organic Synthesis Reagent
Allylic alcohol substrate for oxidation, esterification and reductive addition reaction research
4. Platform Category & Product Group Guidance
1) Domestic B2B Platform Category
Recommended Path: Organic Intermediates / Fragrance & Flavor Intermediates
Reason: Aromatic allylic alcohol widely used in daily chemical flavor and fine chemical synthesis
2) English Product Group Dropdown Options
