  • Applications

    2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)ethyl acetate, CAS 58556-55-1, is principally used in the fragrance and cosmetic industries as an aroma component (odorant) and may function as a fixative to extend fragrance longevity in perfumery, skincare, and soap formulations. It is also regarded as a chemical intermediate/precursor for other fragrance compounds, and is commonly employed in fragrance formulation development. In the food and beverage space, it may be evaluated as a fragrance precursor or aroma ingredient where permitted by regulations. In research and development of aroma chemistry, it is used as a model compound to study stability and interactions in aroma systems. Additionally, it can serve as a building block in the synthesis of related phenethyl ester aroma compounds.
