Description

Hexyl cinnamaldehyde has a jasmine-like odor, particularly on dilution. alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is a yellow liquid with a mild, slightly fatty, floral, somewhat herbal odor, and a distinct jasmine note. Similarly to the "-amyl homolog, "-hexylcinnamaldehydemust be protected against oxidation by the addition of stabilizers. It is prepared in a manner similar to that of "-amylcinnamaldehyde by alkaline condensation of excess benzaldehyde with octanal (instead of heptanal). "-Hexylcinnama
