7779-65-9 Usage
Description
Isoamyl cinnamate has a balsamic odor reminiscent of cocoa. May
be prepared by esterification of cinnamic acid with commercial
isoamyl alcohols, which vary in isomer distribution according to
source.
Chemical Properties
Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 7779-65-9 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Isoamyl cinnamate has a balsamic odor reminiscent of cocoa.
2. pale yellow liquid with an iridescent sheen
Occurrence
Reported found in cinnamon and port wine
Preparation
By esterification of cinnamic acid with commercial isoamyl alcohols, which vary in isomer distribution according to
source.
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 35 ppm: sweet, floral, powdery, berry, and spice nuances
General Description
Pale yellow liquid with iridescent sheen.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
An ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Fire Hazard
Isoamyl cinnamate is probably combustible.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7779-65-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,7,7 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 5 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7779-65:
(6*7)+(5*7)+(4*7)+(3*9)+(2*6)+(1*5)=149
149 % 10 = 9
So 7779-65-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Syntheses and QSAR studies of sorbic, cinnamic and ricinoleic acid derivatives as potential antibacterial agents
Narasimhan,Kothawade,Pharande,Mourya,Dhake
, p. 2828 - 2834 (2007/10/03)
Amides and esters of sorbic, cinnamic and ricinoleic acid have been synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against gram (+) ve S. aureus, B. subtilis and gram (-) ve E. coli. Most of the compounds have shown moderate to good activity against microorganisms under test. Linear regression analysis of descriptors related to lipophilicity, steric and electronic parameters against antibacterial activity have been performed. QSAR studies indicated the predominance of electronic and steric parameters over the lipophilicity parameters in contributing antibacterial activity.
