Description
Phenylacetaldehyde has been identified in many essential oils and as a volatile constituent of foods. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet, green odor, reminiscent of hyacinth. Since it readily undergoes oxidation and polymerizes, it must be stabilized by addition of antioxidants and by dilution with, for example, diethyl phthalate before use in compositions. Phenylacetaldehyde has a harsh, green odor reminiscent of hyacinth on dilution. It has an unpleasant, pungent, bitter flavor, turning
Phenylacetaldehyde is an organic compound used in the synthesis of fragrances and polymers.
Solid|Colourless to slighty yellow oily liquid; very powerful and penetrating pungent green floral and sweet odour of hyacinth type
Phenylacetaldehyde is an aldehyde that consists of acetaldehyde bearing a methyl substituent; the parent member of the phenylacetaldehyde class of compounds. It has a role as a human metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is an alpha-CH2-containing aldehyde and a member of phenylacetaldehydes.

Phenylacetaldehyde Use and Manufacturing
There are various preparation methods: 2-phenylacetaldehyde can be prepared by catalytic reduction of phenylacetic acid, catalytic oxidation of β-phenylethanol and styrene, epoxy styrene, cinnamic acid and its esters as raw materials. Industrial production is obtained by oxidizing β-phenylethanol in the presence of copper with air under heating. The reaction is exothermic, and side reactions such as oxidation of phenylacetaldehyde to phenylacetic acid and polymerization of phenylacetaldehyde occur simultaneously. The content of aldehyde in the oxidation product is about 50%. The crude product obtained is washed with water and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a finished product.
In perfumery; intermediate in organic synthesis.
