Description
α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, also known as hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, is a member of the class of cinnamaldehydes carrying a hexyl substituent at the alpha-position. It is a yellow liquid with a mild, slightly fatty, floral, somewhat herbal odor, and a distinct jasmine note. alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde has a jasmine-like odor, particularly on dilution, and may be synthesized by condensation of octylaldehyde with benzaldehyde. It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil but insoluble in glycerol and propylene glycol.
Uses
Used in Fragrance Industry:
α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is used as a fragrance ingredient for its typical floral scent, particularly suitable for personal care products such as perfumes, creams, and shampoos, as well as household products.
Used in Food and Pharmaceutical Industry:
α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is also used as a flavoring additive in the food and pharmaceutical industry, providing a sweet, waxy, floral, green, citrus, and fruity taste at 5 ppm.
Used in Soap Perfumes:
Due to its stability to alkali, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde is widely used in flower compositions, such as jasmine and gardenia, and is particularly useful in soap perfumes.
Used in Solubilization Studies:
The solubilization of α-hexylcinnamaldehyde by ionic surfactants, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, and a non-ionic surfactant like dodecyl polyoxyethylene ethers, has been investigated for various applications.
Preparation
By condensation of octylaldehyde with benzaldehyde
Hazard
Combustible.
Contact allergens
Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde is a fragrance allergen. Its
presence has to be mentioned by name in cosmetics
within the EU.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 101-86-0 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,0 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 101-86:
(5*1)+(4*0)+(3*1)+(2*8)+(1*6)=30
30 % 10 = 0
So 101-86-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Α, β - production of unsaturated aldehydes
-
Paragraph 0083-0102, (2019/03/30)
The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing an aldehyde, which can prepare a target aldehyde with high selectivity and can also suppress the production of by-products. The present invention relates to a method for preparing an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. The method includes a step of reacting a compound of formula (I) with a compound of formula (II) to provide an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde of formula (III). An alkali metal hydroxide and an alkanol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms are used in the step. The amount of the alkali metal hydroxide is 8 mol% or more and 12 mol% or less with respect to the compound of formula (I). The total amount of water contained in materials that are used in the reaction is 10 mol% or more and 50 mol% or less with respect to the compound of formula (I).

L-Proline in the presence of benzoic acid is found to be an effective catalytic system for the cross-aldol condensation of benzaldehyde with 1-heptanal under solvent free condition amongst the several amino acids screened for this reaction. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the desired product (e.g. jasminaldehyde) is formed up to 96% selectivity in one hour using the desired arylaldehyde: 1-alkanaldehyde ratio as low as 2:1 under controlled addition of 1-alkanaldehyde.
