  • Applications

    Butyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate, also known as butyl cinnamate, is an aroma ester used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, providing fruity and vanilla-like notes and sometimes acting as a fragrance fixative. It is also employed in household products and personal care formulations to impart scent, and may be viewed as an intermediate or building block in the synthesis of other fragrance compounds. Additionally, it may be evaluated for flavor or aroma applications in food-processing formulations under applicable regulations. These uses reflect its aroma profile and the relative stability of this cinnamate ester.
