  • Applications

    Methyl 2-(4-ethylphenyl)acetate (CAS 36207-10-0) is predominantly used as a fragrance intermediate and odorant in perfumery, delivering fruity/floral notes with a subtle aryl character; it is commonly evaluated as a building block for the synthesis of aroma compounds for cosmetics and personal care, and may be employed as an aroma additive in household products, coatings, inks, and cleaners. It also serves as an industrial manufacturing intermediate for preparing related arylacetate derivatives used in specialty fragrance and flavor formulations. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
