  • Applications

    Prop-2-enyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate is the allyl ester of cinnamic acid. In fragrance applications, the compound is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient and may function as a fixative to extend fragrance longevity in perfumery, cosmetics, and personal-care products. In household products, it can be used as an aroma component in cleaners and air fresheners. Because it contains an allyl group, it may act as a reactive monomer in UV-curable polymer coatings and inks, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other cinnamate esters for the chemical industry. Overall, its use is as a fragrance ingredient or synthetic intermediate, with implementation dependent on local regulations and formulation limits.
